Bloody Big Balkan Battles Playtesters Wanted

[KTravlos]

I posted this in the BBB Yahoo group, but I am posting here as well.

Me and Chris are looking for people to help playtest the BBB Balkan Wars Scenarios (can be found at the BBB Yahoo Groups) or at my blog (https://phdleadhead.blogspot.com.tr/p/rules-iii-russo-ottoman-war-of-1877.html)

To provide an incentive I am willing to buy (1), one year subscription to the PDF version of the Foreign Correspondent for each group that volunteers to do so.  I can do this up to twice, so if there are more than 2 groups we will have to raffle them. We will figure out if I can offer more, once we gauge how many people wish to help.

Our preference is for play-testing to happen within 2017. Preferably the whole gamut of draft scenarios (one is missing but will be uploaded in couple of weeks). However, you can also opt to evaluate them via mini-campaigns. The scenarios can be used to build 5 mini-campaigns

Greek vs. Ottomans: Sarantoporo-> Yenice/Yiannitsa->Bizani(Yanya)
Serbs vs. Ottomans: Kumanovo-> Prilep-> Bitola
Bulgarians vs. Ottomans: Kirkilise->Lule Brugas->Chataltza

2nd Balkan War
Greek vs. Bulgarian: Kilkis->Dioran->Kresna Gorge
Serb vs. Bulgarian: Bregalintsa-> Kalimatsi.

If your group does at least two I will consider it eligible for the either the FC subscription, or the raffle if there are too many groups.

There is no requirement to use proper figures etc. Right now we just want to make sure the scenarios are competitive for both sides and to fix any issues from creation.

I wish I could give more goodies but the exchange rates are killing my income.

If interested email me at ktralvos@yahoo.com (ktravlos at yahoo dot com).

Am I going a bit mad, or is there no Kresna Gorge scenario currently in the Group files?

And as a bit more incentive: when Konstantinos's BBB Balkan Wars book is published, I will send free copies to people who have made significant contributions to it by their playtesting. It's going to be a great book and a rare and precious resource on these neglected conflicts.

I can't comment on your mental health    but you are right that Kresna Gorge is not yet in the group files - but it should be added today.

All the voices say they can't comment when I ask them directly
