Greetings from the Gateway to the West!

Welcome aboard, Lawrence.

Bob, HMS Lydia, is from the St. Louis area. We have discussed getting the folks from St. Louis and central Illinois together for a day of gaming. Now that we are receiving our sets, we should get a date on the calendar.

Thanks, lads!

And thanks much for the info, Eric. We've got several of the locals playing now so I'll steer them to the Forum here as well.

Eric, we should start tracking how many miles you travel in total for 2014 for a SoG game!

That sounds like an interesting idea. I assume by year's end, it would be several thousand. It's 250 miles round trip if we play at each other's place.

Let's starting looking at some spring dates. I hope by mid-March, weather will no longer be an issue.

If we play in central Illinois, others from the Chicagoland and Rockford areas could join. If we can find someone in the Springfield area to host, it would be fairly easy for St. Louis and central Illinois to meet. If you folks host, we must have lunch on "The Hill."
