Autumn 1968 The General magazine from Avalon Hill games company

After being prompted by @tabletopbill.bsky.social I dug out a solitary 'General' magazine in my Stash-That-Must-Go.

A real oldie from autumn 1968. Might be a collector out there who wants/needs this?

It's free, just pay postage to wherever it has to go. UK-based.

Structure de boucliers et lances pour la pause des hoplites.

#experiencehoplitique
Avant de disparaitre, je vous propose une synthèse de la semaine qui vient de passer qui fut dense en émotions : celle de l'expérience Hoplitique.
Pendant 3 jours, près de 400 personnes ont bravé la canicule à Riorges pour mener une expérience d'archéologie expérimentale unique

Looks more like Antietam to me.

How does this ruleset play? I have a copy and it seems full of innovative concepts but it felt like it was trying to do too much.

The closest is the BBC radio broadcast of Len Deighton's Bomber. Originally it was played in "real time" over the course of a day, gripping stuff. I think you can find the episodes on YouTube.

Went to the 80th anniversary event of the battle of the Bulge in Bastogne. My girlfriend said "I've never seen so many happy middle aged men" 😂

My Corps was spread along the Isar with HQ at Landshut. I did not try to contest the crossings as I feared my divisions would get destroyed in detail. I was able to blow the Landshut bridge and my cavalry fought at Moosburg but my initial orders were to concentrate at Landshut.

Having played as Lefebvre in the same scenario I remember the first day being extremely tense.
