Re: [Rails-devel] NoMapMode

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

This is an excellent idea, I prefer rails for f2f instead of Lemmi's
moderator with the one exception of the map requirement.

Unfortunately I don't have a personal copy of 1830 or 1889 yet but I
will happily test this out given the first opportunity.  In fact, I
might try running it with cyberboard/vassal as an alternative to a
spreadsheet and see how that works out...
