We have played a lot of "Charlie Don't Surf!", but we have never ever had both sides go at each other hammer and tongs this way. Casualties are mounting for both sides, though two chopper-loads of locals have been evacuated. More to come. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social @toofatlardies.bsky.social

While they don't know their respective morale levels precisely, both side in our attack on Cardonville scenario for "I Ain't Been Shot Mum" must surely know that they're near the end of the thread. Next week should decide matters in this embiggening of "29, Let's Go". @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

Our "Beginner's Luck" scenario for "A Fistful of TOWS 3" is in its later stages and has come to cases. We've had nasty tank duels, an heroic American charge onto fixed German positions, and even a successful tank close assault. What's not to like? @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

I will surprise absolutely no one when I say World War 2 infantry regiments were large. Very, very large. It's only when you try to shove one around on a tabletop in a game like "A Fistful of TOWS 3" as we did tonight that you see just how large. More to come. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social
