More like he's forgotten that he threw down the gauntlet :-)

He's much busier since he retired..................

JD, best not let your pal see the thread about the Italian Campaign game, as I'm sure the temptation might be too much for him.  :whistle:

I've told him. Too late...he'd already seen it but he's staying steadfast in his route away from financial ruin this year...though he did admit he's just bought The Last Hundred Yards:The Solomon Islands

Apparently though he's back on track

I have downloaded the VASSAL mod and the rules. I’m gonna play the iPad version first to see if there is any difference.

And no, I still Bob is not right… maybe …  :nerd:

Is this the Armchair Dragoons' version of standing around a schoolyard chanting "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

I say, Mr. Bob ol' chap, smack 'im in the schnoz!

Good gravy, Vance, m' boy, will you just stand by while he spreads libel like that about Canadian winter customs?

Alright.. I just played a few games on the iPad and… I hate to admit it… but I must take back all the nasty things I’ve been telling people about Bob.  :-[

He’s right, you can’t defend St. Vith as was done historically. It will always fall on the 16th not the 21st as really happened.

Not sure if it’s the scale this game uses or just the author’s bias as to the importance of St. Vith but it does seem like a odd choice for such a famously studied and gamed battle.
