Interesting. By platoon level, do they mean that's the highest level of command ala CoC? Or that platoon is the smallest unit of manoeuvre?

Currently recovering after #WinterWonderLard yesterday! πŸ€ͺ 'The Dojjibotti Run' Indian Mutiny #SharpPractice game went well and everyone said they enjoyed it. Didn't get a chance to see much else but feedback overwhelmingly positive. Thanks to everyone who put a game on or attended. #SpreadTheLard

Gave my #WinterWonderLardVI Indian Mutiny game (the Dojjibotti Run) a go last night with @andycrow.bsky.social, Phil and Jack. Went well, rockets a hoot, a couple of tweaks and should be good for tomorrow... #SpreadTheLard

RIP John Virgo. Head up to the big snooker club in the sky, and give the good Lord a trickshot challenge to ponder.

John Virgo has died. I'd like to think at his funeral as the casket is being lowered somebody says; hang on, where's the coffin going?

British victory in tonight's Normandy '44 #ChainOfCommand game. Pretty attritional game livened up by @andycrow.bsky.social deciding to charge a Sherman with a team of German infantry (who all died!) #SpreadTheLard

Unless I missed something, it was less of a direct hatchet job that I expected. Clearly written with an agenda, but I was expecting outright attacks ("Haig was a fool because..."), rather than the selective quoting that seemed to be there instead. Looking forward to tomorrow's session.

I don't know if it's just a reaction to having struggled through Bloch the week before, but I quite enjoyed it! 🫣

Had a read this afternoon and there is lots to like in there Jeff. Perhaps it's time to plan BIG CoC @ BIG? (BIG's BIG CoC?... We can workshop it!)

Managed to finish the 6mm USAEUR armour for today's game of #BattlegroupNORTHAG with @andycrow.bsky.social & Rob. Lot of fun on a great looking table, the Red Army emerged victorious largely due to Rob's unerring ability to roll one below anything he needed! πŸ˜‚

Enjoyed some festive Battlegroup NORTHAG with @ironcow2103.bsky.social and Rob today. Great to finally see it on the table in 6mm, where the ground scale makes more sense. Thanks to Steve for his heroic painting effort to get it ready! #JoyOfSix #Wargaming
