Salerno operation begins at about 12:00.  The Fritz X did incredible penetration and damage to Savannah.

Cheers. Bit of dirt and some different thickness electric wire. Gives it a bit more life.

There are so, soooo much better out there though. I've seen what people can do when they actually give it a proper go

FINALLY...got some more progress on the Salamander

As soon as I did up the airbrush, I had a blockage...it's that kind of thing that gives me hives when I'm thinking about getting back to it. But...I soldiered on

Nature abhors a vacuum and that includes a vacuum in communication; something will always fill it.

Exactly. After all the poison being spat out and LnL coming forward to make a video update to appease the naysayers, they then went into the dark again.

I'm just a wee bit shocked you think it's a good idea to not give out regular updates when people have backed your product.

Again, I'm not fussed personally. I am fine waiting - but it just annoys me they are allowing this poison to gain momentum. They could've just nipped it in the bud by communicating early or, as is the case, once it got bad, they could have just stemmed the flow of poison. But nope. They seem quite happy for the Game Found boards and the BGG boards to be taken over by all the hate.

It's really, really taken alot of the shine off getting this game. I'm desperate to get it so the hate goes away now - not because I'm looking forward to getting it - as was the original case.

They have behaved really poorly.

Did they share your thoughts or any comments? Flew a bit under the radar but noticed it was up for a Charlie.


I spent more time watching the Caucasus game than Gettysburg.  I'm not a big ACW guy.

That said, seemed like the terrain was getting the better of both sides, and limiting maneuver far more than either player would've liked.  No idea if that's normal for that game or not.

The Union player was having a hard time getting all his artillery where he wanted, but the Confederate player didn't seem to get much mass to take advantage.
