Unfortunately, I can't quite recall the maps used, and I think I've somehow lost the data I wrote on one of the record sheets. And stupid starboi still hasn't sent me the photo of the battle scene yet... This is exactly what I'm afraid would happen when a scenario is left alone for too long.

Nevermind, I still vaguely remember the battlefield setup.

Vengeance Gambit

Okie... Since we all have a whopping 2 days of holidays on the 1st and 2nd of January, I'd like to finish Vengeance Gambit on the 31st of December. If we finish early, can also celebrate the New Year!

So here're the details.

Time: 1400 - 2400 hrs
Location: Settlers Katong
What to bring: pencil, dice, eraser

Damien has confirmed. I need the rest of you to tell me if you;re coming so I can make the arrangements with Settlers. If too late, we might have to shift the game to the 1st or the 2nd of January.

Please reply ASAP!

Intellectual Ponderings in CBT

Came across an interesting article on Empires and the importance of frontiers. Kinda relevant to the current situation, especially vis-a-vas the Successor States and the dynamics between House Lords and their direct subordinates on the borders, plus the growth of empires.

The concept of 'asabiya' is of most interest, especially to die-hard supporters of any House or clan. In the jihad, it could conceivably be argued that the Free Worlds League completely lost it. And once lost, it's poof. So no more FWL. For some reason or other, the minor differences between the Mariks, the Regulans, the Orientes, and the myriad factions that make up the FWL suddenly became too magnified for the FWL to unite in the face of an external enemy.

As a Wobblie strategist, this is of paramount interest. So how then, to promote divisions within each and every enemy state/nation/organization, in order to splinter them and render them more digestible piecemeal?

Simple. Lay low, build up forces, deprive enemy states of their natural external enemies(okay, maybe not so simply done). Internal pressure will build, and hasten the process along with some good ole rabble-rousing. Then when they start to split, wedge them apart.
