Awesome. I look forward to playing some games. I hope your Christmas was merry and your new year will be happy.

Thanks for the kind words. There is actually a Shogun 2 stand alone expansion coming out later this month. It'll focus on Japan's civil war during the late 1860s. There will be some new elements like railroads and foreign (US, UK< and French) advisors. I like the idea of having some grizzled civil war vet advise my clan's troops. It might be worth checking out too. I've preordered it, so I'll let you know. :)

VE might survive. Its out of my hands. However, I hope that we can play some videogames together in the future.
