Our second run through of the Battle of Friedland for "Valour and Fortitude" ended in a pretty exciting draw. The Russians held Heinrichsdorf, but the cost was high enough to bring matters to even. On to the next. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

Diving Into Combat Mission: Cold War - Battle Pack One good rule of thumb for any game or content's "worth" is whether you are at a minimum getting One HOUR of play time per dollar spent. I absolutely think you will surpass that minimum with this new battle pack. wp.me/sae4WL-cmcwbp1

Armchair Dragoons Reviews: And The War Came My point is that I'm extremely selective when it comes to ACW games. It would take a truly singular design to pique my interest Which brings us to And The War Came, designed by Larry Pinkerton & published by Blue Panther wp.me/pae4WL-fJB

While it is absolutely true that all you need to 'edit' a tabletop game is a sharpie, it also kind of undercuts the point to show the on-screen version of that game in the post, instead of a picture of the game on a table somewhere 🙄

Side note: is it possible this is NOT actually Major Farwell of the Royal Irish Dragoons, but rather his son borrowing his fathers hat as a prank for the painting?

AAR of the Kriegsspiel Scenario, Moltke Problem #13 Moltke Problem 13 is about the preservation of forces The answer to the problem is to not march your forces back and forth and diminish their strength before you have a chance to effectively oppose the enemy wp.me/pae4WL-fIo

AAR of the Kriegsspiel Scenario, 1859 Battle of Palestro Victor Emmanuel II was more than brilliant facial hair & admirable posture, he was the reigning king of Piedmont-Sardinia who led a charge into the Austrian flank at Palestro & collapsed an attack on his forces wp.me/pae4WL-fIp

People need to stop using "grok"as a verb for "ask a query of X's crappy AI" and get back to the original understanding of "grok" from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. Of Musk's many sins, stealing a perfectly good word from scifi fandom for a shitty piece of software is way up there

Ironically, one of the best "nostalgia pieces" that captures the feel that the OSR is going for is the digital Card Hunter game, especially the base-game campaign with Gary the DM. armchairdragoons.com/classic-revi...

And then go watch the titular Marjoe Gortner with Caroline Munro in one of the worst sci-fi movies of all time, Star Crash. Come for David Hasselhof's big screen debut, stay for the police robot with the bad Texas accent.
