Passchendaele 2083

[J. Durr]

a day late for the centenary but: there used to be a great scenario by this name at

I'm afraid the link to that (& a number of other scenarios) is broken. Is this your work? If so, care to post here?

Sorry for the rubbish thread. I heard on the radio that it was the centenary of Passchendaele (btw English people pronounce "centenary" in a funny way), remembered that scenarion, then lazily linked it without checking. Then I had a second thought, checked the link, and was like, whoops, so I edited the post to just the main site link.

BUT! I checked in my Ogre papers and it turns out I printed out that scenario, must be ten years ago or something! I also printed out Two Nations, One War. And yesterday I scanned them in! Suggestions for free hosting? I have both scenarios in pdf and in tiff form (don't ask).

On a side note, it's a little sad browsing around the sites from that early 2000s burst of Ogre activity. They're a forest of dead links, or just gone (tank.osaurus, where art thou?) All those scenarios and units are lost in time, like tears in rain...

Two Nations, One War has been revived as part of the Kickstarter Contest.

They are lost, but not forgotten. I recommend digging with the wayback machine. Put in your old links; you may be surprised to see how much has been preserved.

Passchendaele 2083 pdf ready to upload, I only really use image hosters so not sure where to host a pdf. Open to suggestions.

You could put it in the Files section under Ogre over on Board Game Geek.

Probably have to register on BGG first, then just upload directly: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5206/ogre/files

I'm already on BGG (isn't everybody?) so I uploaded it to GEV because it requires the GEV board. Haven't seen it show up yet, mayhap it needs approval.

Yes, uploads need approvals over there.

[J. Durr]

It's been approved!

Thanks for that upload. Nice to see the blend of game and history.
