I'm sure I'll follow either way.<br /><br />I did some Colonial gaming decades ago and have a growing urge to do more (thanks to various blogs! as well as recent re-viewings of old Colonial movies). As Jean-Louis has suggested in various venues I'll likely start by building up some native forces and pit some of my ImagiNation forces against them. Maybe eventually updating to 19th century Colonial forces.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847642874691038657.post-4009401302077264562010-02-26T16:24:48.396-08:002010-02-26T16:24:48.396-08:00Sounds like it can't be anything but good...(b...Sounds like it can't be anything but good...(but I'm finding having multiple gaming blogs hard to sustain time-wise, but they make sense to keep "like things together" as my former mother in law would say...)<br /><br />Davelittlejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469282002961211617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847642874691038657.post-27784149202316019852010-02-26T15:21:37.211-08:002010-02-26T15:21:37.211-08:00Finally got round to becoming a follower after mon...Finally got round to becoming a follower after months of following.<br /><br />Love this stuff, as at heart I think I will always be an Old Schooler.<br /><br />BezzoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932933058017115296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847642874691038657.post-329931288514413812010-02-26T09:13:42.257-08:002010-02-26T09:13:42.257-08:00Blog your overseas activities here since your nava...Blog your overseas activities here since your naval and colonial forces will be important parts of your kingdoms.

If several 'EvE' countries are present oversea, they can even ally to face the equivalent of the Boxers rebellion (but in Guinea, Sudan or India?), if only as a 'battle by proxy'?abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847642874691038657.post-60833086712448601252010-02-26T08:02:49.362-08:002010-02-26T08:02:49.362-08:00Now that is a great idea!
Indeed for some time now...Now that is a great idea!<br />Indeed for some time now I've been hoping one 'EvE' member or another would launch such a project (and I confess to have pestered some of them more than once with the suggestion!. Maybe your example will be followed?<br /><br />Now, separate blogs? As long as these two oversea campaigns are contemporary with the Wittemberg - Monrovia one they would not be out of place here. Or, even if not interlinked, they could share a common "18C colonial adventures" blog?<br /><br />Looking eagerly forward to follow the unfolding of this exciting project!abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.com
