last week i had the pleasure of running #crossbronxexpressway for an undergrad class at The New School. always great seeing students connect the concepts from the class to the actions on the board. it's a large part of why i made the game.

ronald reagan on charlotte street where Carter visited, pitched his solution to decay in the south bronx - municipal scale trickle down economics. the bronx would see some private investment after he was elected, as well as scandalous corruption. #crossbronxexpressway

felix rohatyn, chairman of the municipal assistance corporation that saved new york from bankruptcy. taxes became securities for bonds issued by mac to lure back investors. this was paired with layoffs and other cuts to reign in the public budget. #crossbronxexpressway

the power broker robert moses was a master of budgets. in this way he accomplished a lot including the construction of the #crossbronxexpressway. the monetary costs were calculated but social impact costs were often ignored.

i readily tell anyone who'll listen that I think @austinwalker.bsky.social is the great american "novelist" of our time. finally read the ashcan rules for *realis* on the flight to gencon and it pretty much solidifies it. then i got here and saw the coming art... 1/x

on the evening of December 7th the germans preempt canadian attacks with a major one of their own against the canadians blocking the road from donato to leonardo. this reveals even more german armor in donato. canadian infantry there is shattered but the engineers hold.

germans launch attacks from leonardo and donato with their armor in donato devastating the hasty p's near the moro. more germans move up from the rear to defend their positions.

on the morning of December 7th the seaforth's send infantry to probe the trails from rogatti to leonardo on the left while the hasty p's probe up the coast. both find significant german defenders. the three rivers tanks move into position to begin deploying canadian armor.

on the evening of December 6th artillery pins the german armor as canadians bring infantry up to prepare their offensive. engineers are able to repair the damaged bridge to leonardo then move up to block the road from donato. night attacks create casualties on both sides.

canadian casualties were high but the germans were higher. plus the patricians pulled back their wounded. most importantly, their action drew out the german armor to rogatti. all part of the plan to leave the main canadian target, san leonardo underdefended.

forward patricians facing fire from above, get flanked by infantry, as the armor makes its way through the town. once in position it takes to firing down on the canadians below. with casualties already high and chances of taking out the armor slim, the patricians call a retreat.

all of the activity has drawn attention to the attack and german armor starts to move in to protect the town. canadian forward position moves up to find a german contingent blocking the approach to the town. the high ground gives the germans the advantage.

the last wave of patricians enter the map as the second objective is secured. a mortar stays at elevation in the rear as canadians move forward to prepare for a push for villa rogatti. more germans try to pierce the gap in the rear, but the mortar holds them back.

as the next patrician formation comes on the map, german infantry cross the moro. attempts to slow the arriving group are thwarted by a squad that stays to defend the rear as the rest move up to reinforce the front.

another german machine gun position spots patricians in the clear and unload creating canadian casualties. rather than retreat the canadians move up into concealed positions near the next objective but separated from the rest of the line.
