This was one was written by my partner-in-crime Charles, covering an engagement between himself and a friend of ours called Bill.

Will you be coming to Salute 2013 Jim?

Nice report. I like the rules notes put into the text, very helpful. It did remind me however that we have a question with regards to the Numb talent used in that game. It says it's used to ignore the first hit of an engagement, what's an engagement? Should it be once per game like the others of that style say or is it once per combat or once per combat turn? This came up in a run through of the Salute game.

A big plus of this game is the ease of entry to the rules. We tried it with a couple of people who haven't had anything to do with the project and they had picked it up after a couple of turns. Happily playing away without assistance. Good sign for a game that :)
So many projects..... so little time.......

It means once per game. This one is my fault as I tend to be more flowery in my writing than Charles. He is usually clearer and more precise in his use of words.

That is good to hear. We have found that too when introducing friends to the game.

GD05 is where the brave lads shall be.

Do you have an intertelegraphic coordinate for Oshiro?

Oh my, what gorgeous terrain. If only I was once more young, free and single I'd order the lot  lol

I'm really looking forwards to Salute now.

Flowery writing is fine, I have a tendancy to write that way myself :)
It's more a matter of consistancy when doing rules etc. You can call it an engagement but if you do then you need to do so repeatedly. In this case the word engagement is only used twice in the entire book and the other time is in some flavour text so there is no reference of context.

I am suitably admonished  :(

On the positive side you have read the entire book  ;D
