Notification of Absence
As I've told a semi-random collection of people, I'm going to be away in Europe for all of Febuary, and obviously won't be able to play any of my turns.
I'm currently in the process of finding replacements in all my games, and I'll post when that's all sorted out.

Sure. Will I need to include your last name, or do they all remember you as just Rob?

Substitutes
OK, I've arranged Subs for all but two of my games, and here's the list:
2194 Days of War: The ANZAC
Age of War: Winterfritz*
Another Age of War: Winterfritz*
Fictional Americas: JMarks
Lebensraum: Techumseh
Raging Dragon: The ANZAC*
* = to be confirmed
This leaves Mongols and 'de Historibus Europae. If anyone's willing to fill in for me, let me know ASAP!

And why don't you sub for Case in Mongols, as well? That would give me an opportunity to compete with the Bump King...

I'm off now, I'll see you guys in a month 
If anything major comes up I should be contactable at my normal email address, but don't count on a fast responce
I'm pretty sure that I sent my passord to everybody, but if it turns out that I didn't then contact ANZAC or Darius.

Hello from Rome
Due to Winterfritz being too busy to play my AoW turns, I've asked Grothgar to fill in for me in Age of War and Kirk to fill in in AAOW
*wanders off in the direction of the Forum*

Don't tell me you believed the french advertisement??
Actually it's quite fast, but not THAT fast (500 km/hr?? forget it!).
And it's only really fast on some sections, which is not the case (no pun intended!) in my area!
Anyway, if you don't stop, I'll take the VBs and Coopers (red label) form the fridge and drink them alone!
PS: don't forget Sienna!

If you had ever tried COOPERS, then you would know it's not only real beer, but it's THE beer!! Probably God's final purpose when He created the universe!
And I don't know many Americans personnally, but I'm ready to bet that most Aussies are even more willing to drink beer anytime...
