The Austrians tried a cavalry overun west of the magnificent Sullowitzer tiergarten, but failed. The plan involved a second cavalry formation but they now face disaster too. Elsewhere, things don’t look good for the Austrians either. Lobositz from BAR system, Clash of Arms.

I very recently tried to play the first volume of the Indian Wars of the American West, Adobe Walls by Legion Wargames. But, actually to my surprise, I couldn’t. I was sickened by the explicitness of one of the US victory points source: loot and burn the Comanche and Kiowa winter camps.

The Germans defend in depth in bocage and are really tough to crack unless you have plentiful supply, which the Allies don’t have. The only weak point is defended by the Panzer Lehr, but the 275D is rushing to set up a line in Canisy behind them. Battle for Normandy by

Halfway through the time available, French pressure is about to break the Austrian defenses at several spots. However, the Austrians still have some muscle to throw into the fray. Victory points wise, this is still a clear Austrian victory in the long scenario of All are Brothers, Legion Wargames.

Turn 6 of 14 of my first try at All are brothers. French and Sardinian are pushing but the Austrians are not collapsing and reinforcements are coming. Really enjoying this game!

One turn down and the system seems rather accessible. Chit pull helps a lot with solitaire play. All are brothers from Legion Wargames. Seeing this, I’ve made my P500 preorder of At any cost Metz 1870 of @gmtgames.bsky.social

All are brothers from Legion Wargames and Bryan Armor on the table. I decided i might as well try to learn it with the full battle scenario. Beautiful map and counters.

Very happy with the gift from @gmtgames.bsky.social that I was lucky enough to win at the draw during the Mesa de Guerra online gaming convention. Thanks!!

Preparant les fitxes per la 50 divisió Nacional pel GTS Gandesa. Segur que hi ha maneres molt més eficients de fer aquestes coses…

GTS Battle of the Ebro: If my current understanding of the sources is correct, there was no way the Republicans could have taken Gandesa on July 26. No heavy weapons and just 6 battalions against some 10 battalions with artillery and air superiority.

And here the 35 division in all it’s never achieved glory.

Using old contemporary maps with an hexagonal grid superimposed, ready to retake the design of a GTS module covering the “Saga of the 35 international division“ during the 1st 10 days of the Battle of the Ebro. From Ascó to Gandesa and beyond. The scale is 1 hex 500m.

Trying to retrace objectives, movements etc of the 35 republican division at the Ebro using the division’s order sheets and the maps they had available in 1938. Further documentation for my homemade module of the 35 international division at the Ebro battle for MMP’s Grand Tactical Series system.

Finishing the 2nd mission of the Normandy campaign. All is going surprisingly well and Germans keep retreating while sporadically shooting at the careful Americans. #FieldsofFire from @gmtgames.bsky.social. I may still be doing some things wrong, but in this iteration it is a very accessible game.

Step by step, learning the system. This is an “upgraded” standalone mission with radios and ammo. It quickly becomes mind blowing, I may have gone too far… #fieldsoffire from @gmtgames.bsky.social

The more I learn about @gmtgames.bsky.social ‘s Fields of Fire system, the more I’m picturing a 1938 Battle of the Ebro implementation of the system. No radios, plenty of runners, limited initiative, political commissars, maybe down to platoons only. “Fields of Fire Lincoln Brigade”!!

First training scenario managing a company in Fields of Fire from @gmtgames.bsky.social. The incremental learning system of this new Deluxe edition is really useful and works very well.

South front is active with Republicans fighting off Nationalist counterattacks on Paüls but failing to take Xerta, a secondary objective. The active Nationalist counterattack is finding stiff resistance from the international 11th and 13th brigades, supported by a company of T26b tanks.
