Flashpoint Latvia Episode 5 - The Operational Art of War III - Grim Prospects of War
This narrative is fictional. No political point is intended. The images are from a custom-made scenario, which I intend to play and report as part of this series.
With an order of battle barely longer than a party guest list, the Latvian National Armed Forces brace for a Russian-led "liberation of Russian peoples" in the Ludza and Rezekne Districts.
The peacetime deployment in the Latvian eastern districts include two National Guard Battalions. Here shown as yellow counters, the 25th Infantry Battalion stationed in Rezekne and the 32 Infantry Battalion stationed in Ludza. The artillery unit in the west is the 34rd Artillery Battalion.
The Russian Army has recently moved two independent motorized rifle battalions brigades which are most likely to push from the border stations at Terehova and Morozovka. The two Russian axis of attack are likely Morozovka-Rezekne and Terehova-Ludza-Malta. Russian objectives west of Rezekne and Malta are likely too, to deter a NATO counter attack from the west.
An assortment of NATO aircraft will be available during the first hours of the invasion,...
2GM TACTICS
from Draco Ideas
from Draco Ideas
First of all what's with the title 2GM TACTICS? Well, if you saw WWII TACTICS, you wouldn't be asking the question and that's exactly what the title of this game means. Instead of our English adherence to the good old-fashioned Roman numerals II, Spanish uses 2 and Guerra Mundial [World War or technically War World]. If this were French, it would be La Deuxieme Guerre Mondiale. However, that leads me to my main problem, namely that this is in some ways an anticipatory review, as 2GM TACTICS is currently only available in its original 2015 Spanish edition. So, my comments will be based on the latter's physical components and the current English translation of only the basic rules.
Though the company have said that the latter will be improved for the final published edition, I've got to say that language-wise there is very little to fault either grammatically or idiomatically. In fact, I've read plenty of professional rule books, where English is the native language that are far less accurate in spelling and punctuation! Oh, those dreaded apostrophes! [And I'm not just talking about the fact that Brits and Americans don't always see eye to eye on spelling...

John Tiller's Panzer Battles of Normandy Review
The name John Tiller is well known to any wargamer during the last quarter century. His litany of games include the series 'Squad Battles', 'Panzer Campaigns', 'Napoleonic Battles', 'Civil War Battles', ' The Campaign Series', and even more. The game companies he has worked with are 'Talonsoft' and 'HPS Simulations'. For a few years now he has been on his own with 'John Tiller Software'. One of the more amazing things about this litany of games is that is is continually being updated all through the years. I just started playing a WWI mod for the Campaign series that was just released. This shows the longevity his games have. So we should expect the highest quality and gaming from a release of his. Let's see how his newest release 'Panzer Battles Normandy' stacks up. See, we are wargamers and I used the word stacks, I know, I know, sorry.
Panzer, the word invokes a picture now, probably of a Tiger tank. Once it used to invoke fear. The word is short for 'Panzerkampfwagen'. All compound German words have to have an acronym. If they didn't you'd have a stroke trying to pronounce them; just look up the actual German word for FLAK,which stands...
