The Glorious 3rd of June is tomorrow!

I have all the final edits ironed out, and details can be found on my blog.

Watch this space for pictures after the event.

Thanks, Andy, for help with the quotes for the special cards.  I cleaned up the text and then came up with a brilliant idea:  each card is printed with different options, front and back, but at the bottom of each description it's clear that the card is destroyed when played.  So, each player receives 2 cards each with a total of 4 special options, but they need to decide which side to play of each pair.  In this way I can effectively hand each player just one pair of cards which encompasses 4 options.

I'm also planning to wear the USS MONITOR cap I bought at the Mariner's Museum during my recent vacation to Hampton Roads & Norfolk; how geeky is that?

I approve! You're talking to a guy who owns a Hawaiian shirt with battleships on it ;).

Now you're giving me some crazy ideas.  No battleships on my favorite Hawaiian shirt, but that still might be just the thing to wear between my USS MONITOR cap and my khaki shorts....

And did I mention I procured a miniature katana sword model which I can "present" to my opponent when I lose a game playing my Blazing Sun faction?  I'm really only a few degrees away from assembling tiny ship models inside glass bottles while smoking a pipe and listening to Patrick O'Brien novels on audio books.
