Armchair Dragoons Reviews IADS: The Game
Although the home hobby gamer is not the intended target of IADS: The Game, getting caught in the frag pattern does not result in collateral damage (ok, maybe some financial damage) but instead great collateral enjoyment

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
