"Lingonberry/ Cowberry/ Cranberry war" (The Russo - Swedish war 1788-1790)  :nerd:

24 September 1788 - 9 July 1789

Between Danmark-Norway and Sweden.  :biggrin:

Or,  what was the question again?   ???

We FINISHED IT!

It was a very fine game.

Huge tip of the cap to Velker and OJ who pulled off what I thought to be a fairly improbable victory at Friedland.

Thanks to Ron for sticking through the whole thing and Zeke as a late sub.

Blucher WILL be back.

Came across 2 rules items I thought worth mentioning since in my mind I had them wrong:

"Activating a unit to prepare it does not count as “movement” and therefore does not
prevent that unit from shooting.
(p. 46)"

-I would've assumed the opposite

"Infantry may not charge cavalry in conjunction with friendly cavalry.
(p 42)"

-We didn't end up doing it at the end, but certainly thought it was an option for us to jointly attack the one russian cav.
