Gentlemen,
? ? ? ? This is awaiting approval but the proposed flier is attached with the snappy catch phrase:
Keep yer masks on and join us at Nor'Easter XXV. Meds optional.

Noreaster info and scenario list
Hi Bruce,
? ? ? Here are the dates and the scenario lists and a general blurb.
? ? ? ? ? ? Blurb:
This year, due to the continuing effects of the pandemic, the Nor'easter will be run in a VASL format. The dates are as follows:
3/18 Open Gaming
3/19-3/22 Main Tournament
We are not planning on running any mini's this year. If I hear otherwise, I will advise immediately.
Due to this being VASL run and as we expect participation from widely divergent time zones, the timing for the rounds is a little bit later on the start time than normal.
Round 1 Friday 3/19 11AM EST-4PM EST
Round 2 Friday 3/19 5PM EST-until you finish that night/early morning any time zone
Round 3 Saturday 3/20 11AM EST-4PM EST
Round 4 Saturday 3/20 5PM-until you finish
Round 5 Sunday 3/21 11AM EST- until you finish
Prizes will be offered from major manufacturers for the top three finishers as always.
The scenario list is as follows:
Thursday Open Gaming suggested scenarios to try:
BWN-5 Breda Bash
LSSAH40 Breathing Room
YASL24 The Flying Column
Round 1

YASL26 Whiteout
YASL28 Fool's Errand

Hello gents,
? ? ? ? While some vaccines are going to be starting to get rolled out by months end, I have enough faith in?bureaucracy?to believe this can be screwed up a fare-thee-well. I believe we will have to cancel the Nor'easter this year also and again revert to a VASL format. This will be held on the same days as the normal tournament, which is to say Open Gaming: 3/18 and Main tournament 3/19-3/21. Due to version stability, please use 6.5.1 for the tournament in conjunction with VASSAL 3.2.17. This sucks, but not quite enough time to make this work. I will notify the hotel. I will go ahead and run the VASL version of this year's tournament. Ralph, could you let me know if you can manage the VASL setup end of things this year?? ? ? ? ? ?Since this is just a VASL tournament, no entry fees etc. this year. Mike A, anything to add? Thanks guys, announcements will be made on the usual platforms in short order.?

Continued good luck with the tourney Carl, I'll be wrapping up Dispatch #51 about that time so can't commit at this time but hope you have a great response and we all can get back to normal later in 2021.
Take care and have a nice Holiday Season, Vic.

Rob, I believe that there is a DN map. In the newest version of VASL, maps download when you "choose map".
Is there a Dinant map for VASL and how can I get my grubby hands on it? Thanks.

I threw you a few bucks for the effort (Thank you).? But, I am confused why we would duplicate an effort that is being done (or could be done) through the club's Facebook page?
Speaking of the Facebook page, it is in serious need for updates.? The 2018 tourney is still pinned.? Could we get a few game reports posted?? Pictures of ASL "problems" to solve?? It will keep those of us who are not actively playing connected to the community.? At this point, I would even consider Joe G's "Carlos Danger" pictures something.
So, the MMP sale just ended - what did everyone pick up?
