Rise of the Orc Lords - AAR
Signup Through late November and into December, I participated in Mr. Wargaming's fantasy Braunstein/Kriegsspiel exercise, Rise of the Orc Lords . This initially came as somewhat of a surprise to me. True, I had expressed a passing interest a month earlier, but hadn't thought that I'd explicitly signed up. After all, my other hobby is early music, and as a result, my discretionary time in early December is largely taken up with rehearsals and performances, as well as various church activities. The first full week in December is typically one of the busiest of the year for me. I was also a bit intimidated by the other ( elite-level! ) players. I get the impression they all knew each other and had all played together in various #BROSR activities. I felt very much the outsider. I almost backed out, but decided to stick to the course and just see what happened. After all, if I got eliminated early, it was no skin off my back. Just surviving to the end would be an accomplishment...
