It's my birthday so by law you have to at least visit the shop and go "wow what a good girl you did this all by yourself" & some local bylaws demand a purchase. I don't make these laws!

Thanks for all your support, younger me would be SO HYPED for today me <3

AAR of the Kriegsspiel Scenario, Gembloux 1940

Historically, poor coordination by the German commanders & a stubborn, disciplined defense by the French ended w/ the attack being unsuccessful, tho the French victory was overwhelmed by a change in fortunes elsewhere

AAR of the Kriegsspiel Scenario, Bemis Heights 1777

British plan was to offset a numerical disadv by luring the enemy into redoubts & strike them on the flanks forcing them to fight in two directions
American plan was to move in a coord way to use their superior force size

Half way through our Battle of Eylau for "Blucher" and the French are in a bit of a pinch. Murat boldly charged the Russian left, but had a bad time of it and was carried from the field. Davout has taken his sweet time getting to the field, but has at last arrived. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

Our first battle from "Little Wars TV"'s "Nach Stalingrad" campaign -- The Counterstroke -- is going to be close. There's a lot of burning Soviet armor, but the clock is ticking loudly and there's a lot of infantry dug in and waiting. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

One lousy heavy howitzer barrage can ruin your whole day. The German attack in our "Advance to Smolensk" mission for "O Group" was badly broken up and they're trying to sort matters out before the clock runs out. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social @toofatlardies.bsky.social
