It is awful hard to complain about a scenario that comes down to a single morale point. The Allies held by a fingernail to win our Battle of Eylau for "Blucher". One suspects the French will be looking for a re-match next year. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

The Germans pushed hard to break out against the Soviets in this "A Fistful of TOWS 3" scenario, but a few clutch rolls spared the Soviets and granted them a win as we head into Scenario 2 in this "Nach Stalingrad" campaign. Who invited the KV-8s, I do not know. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social
