We imagined it to be Kursk, with hordes of Soviets holding off a massive German attack. What it was was eight players, a 15' table, and three hours of "Eisenhower" with Little Wars TV and the Armchair Dragoons left in an early 4-4 tie. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

Game would have been fun even without minis. It’s hard! I’m considering picking it up now too.

Also thinking Rudyard Kipling’s son, John Kipling, who was killed in the engagement.

On table tonight: Richard Borg’s The Great War. An underrated entry to the Commands and Colors series.

Running the concluding scenario to the Battle of Loos, 110 years later.

SAS: Rogue Regiment at @armchairdragoons.bsky.social Fall Assembly.

A board game that is crying out for miniatures. Props to Chris and his 3D Printer for bringing this to life.

Thanks to @armchairdragoons.bsky.social Tuesday Newsday, I learned that Axis & Allies: The Bulge is being reprinted by Renegade Games. A great light Bulge game that punches above it's weight and worth checking out. renegadegamestudios.com/axis-allies-...

There's something happening here. But what it is, ain't exactly clear.

Our man Capt. Achilles was probably ecstatic to have a film crew following him as he approached the village of Dien Troung 4, but they turned out to be the least of his worries. As ever. Early days in this one for "Charlie Don't Surf!" @armchairdragoons.bsky.social @toofatlardies.bsky.social

The bodies were from the Malmedy Massacre that occurred on 12/17. News of the atrocity spread throughout the ranks in the Ardennes. One trooper stated, upon seeing the bodies, "If it was to be 'no prisoners' that was OK with us. The German SS became to us, less than the lowest creatures on earth."

"We cut across a field, finding the going more strenuous in unbroken snow... Someone noticed nearby what appeared to be cord wood staked at the edge of the field. He went over to investigate. He pushed away enough to see this mound was not wood, but US soldiers, all dead!"

PFC Charles Fedel of F Company dismounts and moves out, trudging through snow into position. PFC Clifton Land of 3rd Platoon, F Company, who rode the entire stretch on an open flatbed truck, recalled, "Eventually, we dismounted and started walking, trudging through he deep snow..." [continued]

PFC Charles Fedel of F Company makes it to XVIII Airborne Corps Headquarters with the rest of 2nd Battalion after 23 hours jammed in the back of trucks stuck in worsening weather and traffic jams - some without canvas covers. Many troopers have no idea where they are - France? Belgium? Luxembourg?
