We're approaching the crisis of our Marengo campaign-in-a-day for "Snappy Nappy". Napoleon's holding on for dear life as every Austrian drawing breath arrives. I also can't decide if players being able to vandalize the table is good or bad.

Playtest we must. This is "Able Archer" 0.4.

Well, [Murph], we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?

Our Battle of Golymin for "Valour and Fortitude" went for the French as both Russian flanks were caved in and even a sprint to the "Alamo" of Golymin itself was unlike to change matters. Off to Pultusk.

This is the Battle of Pultusk for "Valour and Fortitude" ready for playtesting. I would not have wished the 1806-07 winter campaign on an enemy.

Much still hangs in the balance in our Marengo "campaign in a day" for "Snappy Nappy". The siege of Genoa has been lifted -- semantic perfidy by the French is alleged -- and one heck of a scrap has opened up, but nowhere near Marengo.

Our St. Barthelemy double-game for "I Ain't Been Shot Mum" is huge, busy, and a bit mad. It's also drawing to a close. I just wish I knew who was winning.

(Yes, we had two different terrain maps.) Our Battle of Aspern-Essling is going a bit poorly for the Austrians at the moment, but we're only about one-third through and there's still a lot of them coming. Rules are "Valour and Fortitude".

Something a bit different as we visit one of two scenarios from the Orel Salient for "Eisenhower".

The French are encircling Golymin as the Russians slowly withdraw. Three-quarters done and the question will now be whether the French can squeeze hard enough. All for "Valour and Fortitude".

All righty, then. We've got the Battle of Golymin locked in for "Valour and Fortitude". The pile grows...

I can't say we made a great deal of progress on our double-sized battle for St. Barthelemy for "I Ain't Been Shot Mum", but the swirling battle has proven a very good time. Losses both ways, but those nasty Panthers are circling. @TooFatLardies
