It is exactly the same.
Dispose of by any means available.
Jean-Nicolas Stofflet royalist "corps", army command was under Maurice d'Elbée, reacts quickly to the march of Canclaux's army and gives battle near Vertou, having Sapinaud's corps further west at Saint-Philbert as a strategic reserve if needed.

Westermann arrives.
At the head of the 'Armée des Côtes de La Rochelle'.
Plan is to march straight west and attack Châtillon (sur-Sèvre) from the south.
Yes, yes, bla bla bla westermann this that etc. Plenty of bollocks written under historical fiction taken by some as factual record. Try harder.
Yes.

Finally the Republic has de Canclaux, Jean-Baptiste-Camille, ccommanding the 'Armée des Côtes de Brest' arriving from the north.
Plan is to march west following the Loire on the south.
Interesting trivia, he was present at the battle of Minden.
If only...
So close. Yet so far.
"Let them eat bugs." - will be a misquote by a wannabe queen. Potentially.

My talk at UK in Lexington seemed to go well today. Made some new friends; found some more people who had never heard ofnthe Historical /Agential Problem Space Framework and were excited by what it could do! Yay

The Irish poet Charlie" Donnelly was killed yesterday 88 years ago on 27 February 1937 by a Francoist bullet at the battle of Jarama. A few minutes before, after a lull in the fierce fighting, he was heard uttering his last and now immortal lines "Even the olives are bleeding".

"...required Orbital Strike...on RDZ-8-10..."
"Assessment shows your position."
"Yes I know it our pos! We are overrun. Do it!"
"Score 8, Contested half, counting 4 strikes."
Orbital Artillery bombards the zone where only Kraken forces are left, following an attack.
That's the spirit!!!

Thanks for catching up.
There was another interesting piece covering another big event, totally unrelated and surprisingly odd for a dinner service ( great floods in the netherlands ) but that struck the conversation about the usage of everyday items as media, and less perishable so.
Logistics in wargames ? Sure, i'll make sure coffee is involved.
It is a mix of rants, oddities, rabbit holes and loose themes.
I might use it for a more focused approach covering my own view of any wargaming related particular you send my way.

Friday evening & naval warfare in the age of sail. Two British frigates were engaged against three French. Stirring times indeed as cannon roared & masts collapsed. #NavalWargaming #SailsofGlory #Wargaming
