Jean gave me pages 41-52 and I corrected them.

Jean got interrupted by a family medical situation.

I am stalling two of my doctors who want to schedule me for separate surgeries until Civil Wars gets finished. Both of these surgeries will correct painful problems I am living with. One will be two days in the hospital and a few more days of lost work, the other will be two separate days of lost work about a week apart.

Today, Jean gave me the last 20 pages of F&E Civil Wars and I processed them.

The next step is for Jean to check the fixes I made. I cannot predict when this will happen, but soon. It's not the only thing on her list.

The next step after that is for her to sit down next to me. I will do the changes and she will check the changes on the screen.

Then we will need one big session of rounding up the last stray dogs and cats of things that need updated, PDFed, or finalized.

THEN we can put the PDF on DriveThru (maybe W23 if they get their accounting fixed) and put the chart pack and counters on the cart.

If there was nothing else for us to do this would happen by Thursday. It's not the only thing so I will not predict when it will be done but it is important to everyone.

A few weeks/months later we'll update the PDF and release printed hard copy rulebooks.

ATTENTION F&E STAFF

(636.25) LYRAN ROYAL FORCES STANCE: Officially, the Lyran Emperor remained neutral, but he feared that the defeat of any one duchy would upset the balance provided by four nearly equal duchies. However, without the full support of the dithering Far Stars, the Emperor feared the Lyran capital would be overrun. Nonetheless, throughout the war, the Emperor did find ways to materially and financially support the Centrists under rules (636.431) and (636.513).

(636.312) Forces Released: All Vanguard and Centrist forces including royal defections (DNE, DD, and SC) under (636.431).


We cannot find anything in 636.431 that applies here.

I think that's a Typo. Our draft says (xxx.421).

(xxx.421) is Royal Defections.

I finished the rulebook today, and made fixes to the back cover that Jean checked. We're waiting for the front cover to be completed by Simone. Albert is rounding up the charts.

SVC: What's the next step for Civil Wars? Anything we can help with?

We all took last week off (sickness at my house).

I am just waiting for an hour of time with the entire office crew to get this thing uploaded to the PDF stores. That, and we need the cover. If Simone doesn't have it done tomorrow I will whip up a temporary cover that will be enough for Early Bird release. I think it will have a belly bird on it.
