Accepting orders

I am accepting orders now that I've relocated to Colorado.
I plan to continue attending Fall In! and Cold Wars but generally not Historicon.     I have only been running games of my new WWI air combat game, Between the Crosses, but hope to run more Victory Under Sail games at future cons.
Lastly, I have about 60 more scenarios mostly done and hope to get these available shortly.

Email me when you order

PLEASE email me at victoryundersail@gmail.com when placing an order because the order emails go to my wife's account which she checks very infrequently.
