Well, I haven't heard anything more about it in the last week so I'm
touching wood, crossing fingers, toes, eyes etc. and madly hoping I'm
wrong. However, the report did say "before the end of February", so I'm
not convinced we can stop worrying about it, though.

What you might want to do, Phil, although as I don't really know much about
your games it may not be a viable solution, is accept turns read over the
phone. This doesn't work so well for hand-mod turns or computer-moderated
turns with a complicated turnsheet, but any PBM is better than no PBM.

Hoping I'll be wrong!
