Re: [eia] battle of Mantua

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you guys decide to use the Yahoo Backgammon route, please let me know
when because, as History-Monkey, I would love to be the observer.  However,
I don't see anything unworkable with using the dice server, making only one
roll at a time, and waiting for confirmation from each other as to whether
or not guard corps will be committed, etc., before making the next roll.
This might take an entire day, but we would still be moving and this battle,
as a limited field combat, can only last a maximum of 3 die rolls each
anyway.
