That would rule me out as I don't Zoom.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
I've read your AAR's on the WoW site and would beg to differ, you do ZOOM!!!Originally Posted by Bligh
I just listened to a podcast from Too Fat Lardies about gaming in 2020 and the future. Rich from TFL was just as dismissive of Zoom for gaming until he started using it to playtest rules with some blokes in Australia. Now he thinks it presents new gaming opportunities that they had not though of before. Like any new tech it takes familiarity and of course some equipment (although the participants really only need a phone). I have to run video court hearings for work so use Zoom or Webex on a weekly basis. But much depends on the broadband availability of the participants. I imagine it would be useful to keep up with family in the UK given the much stricter lockdown. We did have a family Christmas Zoom call with my relatives in Holland which worked great.
Years ago I participated in a PBEM game of Wings where the referee had programed the cards (using the plane cards not miniatures) on a map. He would send the map to the players and each player would provide the card numbers for their move in a return e-mail. Then he would play out the turn and send the updated map back with shooting results. It may have even been with MS paint.
That could certainly be a way forward Eric.
What part of Holland are your relatives in? My second cousin and his family lived in Den Haag.

That is where they are. I have 3 cousins all in that area, originally from Voorberg a suburb of Den Haag. Now 2 are living near the center of Den Haag and one still in Voorberg. One family came to visit the US after many years of planning, fortunately the summer before Covid! We took them on a tour of the Capitol, Philadelphia and NYC, then they rented an RV and toured New England and Maine.
We were supposed to be visiting Holland this year after many years absence, but Covid put the lid on that and the visit to Vancouver Island which we also had on our bucket list.
