Yep, and they had more disturbing looking old men hanging around than we did.

I question this.

Well, they tended to rotate in-and-out more than we did.

I think Brant took pictures, so we'd have proof in case this ever came up.

Certainly in comparison to the Zvezda guys on the other side of us!

I question this.

That was mainly because they had a LOT more people than we did overall, so they couldn't help but - on average - attract more disturbing looking old men.

Vassal game of Compass Games' excellent "1866"   Playing an old friend, he is on the East Coast, I am on the West.  Using Skype.

The game uses similar mechanisms to Pursuit of Glory / Paths of Glory.  But gameplay is much more mobile and fluid.  The game also moves along at a better clip.

In this pic, my Prussians tried and failed to reach Vienna through Bohemia.  A strong Austrian defense decimated the Prussian invaders.  Now in a counter-stroke Berlin is under threat from the Bavarians who are allied with Austria.

Very nice! An under-represented conflict, too. Bawb will be all over that one.

We could put a waffle iron and some checkers in front of you right now, tell you it was Königgratz, and you'd play it.

Isn't that how Decision playtests their magazine games?  :hide:
