I'd like to run a partial round robin to test the commander cards we've as yet developed. I refined the cards slightly to make this more practical.
What I'd ideally like, is to have random nations (UK, AU, FRA, DUTCH, GER & ITA) determined at match start and players taking the option to take/not take the provided admiral. Making matches up and fleets pretty random but with the consideration of commanders in terms of cost of effectiveness, utility and mechanical utility. My preference is for 100 point games, with scenario options (night, distance, squalls) agreed between players in individual game threads.
For now, indications of willingness to play 2 or 3 games under these conditions is what I'm hoping to see.
