Gentlemen,

I have GMT's The Burning Blue sitting on my shelf unplayed. I am looking for someone who has some free time this weekend that might want to try to learn this game with me. There is a good VASSAL module for it and the rules are freely downloadable.

Please bear in mind the time difference to the US. I am 13 hours ahead of US Eastern Standard time but I will try to be as fleixible as possible (even if that means setting my alarm for weird hours).

Here are some good links for information about the game. Anyone interested at all, please send me a PM. I will be learning this too, so we can go through things together.

If no one is available this weekend but has free time later in the week, let me know too. I really want to get this game played. It looks very interesting and the reviews on it are excellent.

If I would take the time to read...ok, so you are in Japan. That is 17 hours ahead of me here in California. So 9 am for you is 4 pm for me...6 pm for you is 1 am for me. Since my schedule is so open...if you give me your good times, then I can accommodate...

Ok let's try it this way. Monday through Friday, I am not free until 7pm my time. I can play from 7pm Tokyo time to around 12am if needed. On weekends (with some notice) I am available throughout the day and into the evening if need be.

With some conversions....

7pm tokyo time is 3am San Fransisco time
10pm my time is 6am your time.

Weekends would be more like 6am on Saturday for me would be 10pm on Friday for you.

I am sure we can work out some time where we both would be available. Keep in mind, I haven't actually played the game at all yet. I am still grokking the rules and playing around with the counters, so any game would be a learning experience for me.

3am works for me...I am on a schedule now where I am not falling asleep until 8am my time anyway!!!

I have only played twice myself. It will be a good learning experience for both of us.
