My voice rings out for the monarchy (in stark contrast to my personal
political affiliations - its just that red coats look so much more stylish
than republicans in TL3, don't you think? ;-)
Tiberius Flint and some other appropriately local-when dude (republicans at
heart) have determined that the best way forward is through and with the
monarchy, and know that the death of the boy will lead only to untold chaos,
and perhaps even a new Dark Age, to the advantage only of arms dealers and the
Holy Roman Empire.

I offer to build the Town Hall or the Barracks, having in mind to bring along

Consider me to be nodding vigourously :-)
I would be more than happy for James to be Gamemaster (provided you want to
James) - after all, to my mind James has distunguished himself on prior
occaisions. And I could use his advice on costing my army, and I wouldn't be
too sure about revealing such sensitive intel to a republican :-)
And did we work out how I attach bayonets to my muskets, or did we agree that
bayonets are *part* of muskets?

Still baldly going...
