Swan of the East: A Great War Naval PBEM Game - Players Needed

 


Hello friends:

If you've been following this blog for a while, you'll know that I've been thinking about a Play By Email naval campaign loosely based on the exploits of the German raider Emden in the first year of the Great War.

I'm happy to say that I have some campaign rules, a map, and some models.   I already have some players, but I could use a few more.  If you'd like to be one of the Kaiser's pirates and command a swashbuckling commerce raider, or if you want to run with the hounds as a dogged Royal Navy squadron commander, please let me know.    I might even have a role for someone who wants to be Winston Churchill, First Sea Lord, so they can hector and annoy the other British players.

Have a look at the campaign rules (Dropbox link here) and if you like what you say leave a message in the comments with your command preference.   You can also email me at madpadre (at) gmail (dot) com.  Please be aware that while I will try to keep the game moving, it will not be for those needing instant gratification.

I hope to have the spots full and the players briefed by mid-June, and play start in July when I'm back from two weeks holidays.

Cheers,

Michael

  2. I do hope you'll release 'news headlines' to keep the masses appraised of the situation.
