After a weekend in which both my scheduled gaming opportunities fell through (and my box containing my

Some great looking ships you have there, RavenFeast. Glad to see you're getting those old minis back on the tabletop, and welcome aboard the Dreadnought!

RavenFeast's comment has me wondering at the potential of the net for getting campaigns going not only in a single domain, but between geographically distant players, using something like Vassal.
