Gents, I am going to send you the scenario file for the nex Long Lance game. We will not begin this new game before the current one (Savo) ends, but you can start thinking and discussing about your battle plan. Do not hesitate to ask for some precision if there is something you don't understand in the document. Have a good read, Francis

Gents, I have sent the reports for GT18. Please issue orders for GT20 asap. I don't know when the gmae will finish as it depends on the decisions you will take, but it is clear that the game is probably finishing. I would like to speed up the game so we can end it quickly and start another one as asoon as possible. So please issue your orders as soon as you can. Thanks, Francis

Bonjour, j'aimerais gérer le tour au plus vite. J'invite les joueurs ayant re?u un CR le 12 mars dernier à m'envoyer leurs ordres, s'ils ne l'ont pas déjà fait. Bon courage, Francis

Gents, I have sent the reports for the Tactical Turn 0527-0530. Please issue asap your orders for the next TT (0530-0533). Good luck to all, Francis

Sorry, I forgot one thing (see the attached kmz). Francis

Gents, I have sent reports for the 17th game turn of the battle. Please issue orders for the 18th GT before Monday 5 May. Good luck to all, Francis

Gents, I have sent the reports for the 16th game turn of the Savo game. Please issue your orders for the 17th game turn before monday 28 April. Please don't be late. Good luck to all, Francis

Gents, I once again apologize for the Harpoon games Aden and Guam. Both are idle because one of the players is a sailor and is at sea. For the game 'Battle of Guam', there is nothing we can do but wait that he comes back and issues his orders. For Aden, we can go on without him. So, I request that the other Chinese players issue orders for their squadron. I also need the missing Allied orders. I want to have all orders for Monday 28 April. Thanks for not being late. Good luck to all, Francis

Gents, I will run the turn tomorrow. Please don't forget to issue your orders. Thanks, Francis

Dear All, I am searching for an extra player, preferably with Seekrieg V or Long Lance experience, who is able to play at least one turn/week. The scenario is huge (involving 19 players), and is set in the Baltic Sea in 1941. Many thanks to reply to this message if you are infestered to join. Marino.

Gents, I have sent the reports for the Tactical Turn 0524-0527. Please issue new orders for the next one (0527-050). Francis

Gents, I have sent the reports for GT15. Please issue orders for the 16th game turn before Friday 18 April. Thanks for not being late. Good luck to all, Francis

Gents, I will run the turn tomorrow. Do not forget to send your orders please (two Allied orders not yet received). Thanks, Francis

Gents, I have sent the reports for game turn 14. Please issue those of GT15 bedore 11 April. Thanks for not being late, and good luck to all, Francis

Gents, for the moment, nine players told me they want to participate to the future Long Lance game : Ludovic Servera Pascal Colombier Dominique Guillemin Dave Gaskell Laurent Weiss Aymeric Gribaut Markus Baur Marino Van Welden Brandon Musler It will be a day surface action in European waters. I haven't chosen the scenario yet as I suspect that some players just forgot to answer my call. If you are interested, please tell me, so I can choose the scenario accordingly. Best regards to all, Francis

Gents, I have sent the reports for the surviving ships. The surviving players must now send me their orders for GT14 before Friday (4 April). Please be aware that visibility is still increasing (14000 yards this turn, 15000 yds next one). Paradoxaly, it does turn in better sighting conditions for some ships as fires and gunflashes are less visible in daylight than during night. Good luck to all, Francis

Gents, here is the list of the players who want to participate to the next Long Lance games: Ludovic Servera Pascal Colombier Dominique Guillemin Dave Gaskell Laurent Weiss Aymeric Gribaut Markus Baur Marino Van Welden Brandon Musler Arnaud Massat Hervé Perrot Stefen Sarullo Juhan Arnaud Pierre-Pierre Laurent Leclerc My intention is to organize two games rather than one, because it seems that it's easier to manage (it splits the workload). The first scenario is a variation on the Hunt for the Graf Spee, involving the german corsaire and French cruisers of Force M. I need three players for this one. The second scenario is a variation on the convoy PQ17. I involves twleve players. In the PQ17 scenario, players will command either a heavy ship (cruiser or battleship) or a destroyer division. Players commanding a cruiser or battleship division will command the player(s) in charge of the other ships in the division. One of the players will be the admiral commanding the Task Force. Please tell me: - Which scenario and nationality you would like to join. - What kind of warship (destroyer division or heavier units) you would like to command. - If you want to lead a team or a heavy ships division. I will arrange the teams as best as I can. Francis

Gents, I am working on the interface that will be used during the next Long lance game. During several years, the interface we used had the special feature of calculating the coordinates of units from their initial location, heading and speed. Its advantage was to allow the player to use the coordinates to plan moves in Google Earth. The main problem, is that it sometimes broke down, when players accidently erased formulas. For the current game (Savo 2), I developped a completely new interface. It is more simple as it contains very few formulas. It gives no coordinates, but cannot break down. Depending on your point of view, it may look more or less user friendly than the previous interface. I now need your feedback to make my own mind. Dominique has already said that he dislikes the new interface and likes better the previous one, but I need more than one point of view. Please tell me which model of interface you prefer and why. I attach two projects of interface so you can make your mind. Thanks for your feedback, Francis

Gents, I have sent the reports for Game Turn 12. Please issue your orders for GT13 before 27 March. Thanks for not being late. Good luck to all, Francis

Gents, the tool that I use to run the game has a serious technical issue: it cannot be saved anymore. Erreur lors de l'enregistrement du document: Erreur générale. Erreur d'entrée/sortie générale. Does anyone know about a solution? Thanks for any help, Francis PS: For the next game, I definitively need to make backups
