Reposted by Mark HermanStephen Rochelle @stephen.rochelle.name · 19/06/2026Chickamauga #2 is a Union strategic win. Turn 2 HQ, Bragg wanted to stay Battle mode but confused lines forced his position back to Peavine Rg. Rosecrans had space to move up and around to take position in front of the railroad. Decisive was T4 but T2 HQ was the key point. 181

Mark Herman @markherman54.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Churchill can mess with the timing of the Second Front only if you give him a simple last card play choice. If you want to bring the British into line, put at least one, better two objectives such as the global issue unwon to force a harder last card choice. 000
