Well, the Society of Ancients Battle Day has come and gone, and I didn't get to do an Ilipa refight after all. With SP busy with work and my not having cultivated enough other interested parties we will have to do it belatedly.
I did get to take the family over the Takaka Hill to Golden Bay for a couple of nights though, which was a great success. We stayed with my aunt and her partner, who was born in America and is an American Civil War buff. As I knew of his ACW interest I put a copy of Battlecry in the car, and on the second night asked if he wanted to try a game. He did. It turns out that he used to own a couple of America Heritage games in his younger days.
He took to the game quite quickly, and we got through two scenarios in about four hours.
I have a couple of copies of Battlecry (one given to me by Pat Hirtle; another that came with some other games I bought from a fellow online), so I have given him the one I took over.
Hopefully he enjoys it, and we might be able to get a game or two in when he's over this side of the hill on business.
Hope Easter has been restful for you all!
Adding a potential opponent into the CC fold is a success, Aaron! Very nice to give him a spare copy of the game.
