Then in follow up game this morning, started with a 5 run first inning with starting pitcher rolling an 8 on d100 + d4 for a RBI single!!! Won game 2 of series 8-0 with 16 hits! Fantastically simple baseball game!!!

Really digging Deadball (2E). Baseball with dice!!! I’m playing as 3rd place team making a pennant run in last 9 games of season, playing second place team. Was down 6-1 in top 7 and had huge rally to tie and win in 11.

Well hold off on the initiation ritual for the cult for a couple of games. Just keep in mind when you join the cult you get a cool hat! 😁 (forgot mine for the con…😢)

First game of Deadball. Playing modern era 9 game Circuit from the rulebook to get bearings. A pitching duel but my Charlottesville flycatchers lost 2-1 to an 8 inning 3 run gem pitched by Broad Street’s Pam Casey!

Getting ready to try Deadball 2E. Neat little pencil and paper baseball simulation using polyhedral dice! Looks great!

Still slowly working through the main scenario of All Are Brothers. Finished turn 7 and Austrians starting to get moving snd have reinforcements stepping up. At the point though that corp morale might play a factor soon. Here is last couple turns:

All Are Brothers Solferino end of turn 2, Austrians can’t get moving except Benedek VIII Corps on the right flank. Sardinians need to get some help on that flank bad.

Yes. It is a bit unique. I’m super interested to see how Morale plays out. A blind Sword with TLNB style corps morale. If it hits zero bad things:

All Are Brothers! Battle of Solferino 1859 by Brian Armor published by Legion Wargames

Napoleon III and MacMahon again! Basically the “Prequel” to At Any Cost.

Boy those counters look sharp!

Just got All Are Brothers, Battle of Solferino from Legion Wargames this week. Nice looking package and addition to the series. Looking forward to setting this up see what it does different!

Last night I finished up Stonewall’s Sword, another fantastic entry on Battle of Cedar Mountain

Been on a Blind Swords kick. Last week worked on At Any Cost Metz 1870 Gravelotte/St Privat scenario, Franco-Prussian War

Tis the season!!!! (Softball tournament next weekend so had to get it done now!)

I got to play at @sdhistcon.bsky.social weekend before last. Some neat things and nails the vibes. Church of Reclaimer faction is very “Fremen” like!

Back with Agnadello scenario of Arquebus from GMT! This one looks to be a bloodbath with a ton of French units bearing down on Venetians. Took a bit to dig out all these units from the trays but primed now!
February 10, 2024 at 2:41 AM
Battle of Fornovo was next on the list for Arquebus! Wild scenario, was super fun. league of Venice tried to cut off French retreat but paid dearly. French had to all but abandon baggage train and continue their withdrawal. Rising River helped give them time to make the Venetians pay
January 29, 2024 at 12:29 PM
Next up Fornovo! Cool map and interesting units and scenario rules!
January 28, 2024 at 1:00 AM
Was enough to keep the momentum and collapse the Spanish right flank!
January 28, 2024 at 12:59 AM
French put pressure on flanks! Able to get some continuation rolls and favorable fire to retire Spanish flank unit!
January 28, 2024 at 12:58 AM
However after recovering from the shock of explosion behind their lines they were able to fire into the French poised to cross the ditch and retire some units…this weekend the saga continues with French trying to bring up Cavalry support!
