I finally tried CC:Vietnam, currently on @gmtgames.bsky.social P500, with @joedewhurst.bsky.social the other day and I am VERY excited. I plan on doing a stream about it soon to spread the love.

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M8 – Closing Outer Camp

Some months the luck gods strike you down, and some months the luck gods...well, don't. They still needle you some, but maybe they decide to strike somebody else down instead? That's Combat Commander in a nutshell! Yes, it's time for another adventure from the Combat Commander ladder (trademark: Patrick), that monthly tournament of one of the greatest games out there.

During the Siege of Vicksburg, "hours would seem like days", as the drudgery of inaction plagued the garrison.

The onus is on the Union's Army of Maneuver to keep Johnston's looming Army of Relief in place!

The reality of a long, protracted siege becomes apparent to Grant. The threat of Johnston at his flank also looms as an existential threat. With this in mind, he draws up new orders for Sherman, away from Vicksburg...

Vienna falls!

While distracted by a Rumanian armistice, Italian and Balkan forces surround the capital and force capitulation from Emperor Karl.

With 4 cards left it can be called 'Strategic Stalemate'.
