@mcribbHistory @AndNapoleon Definitely in terms of historical films -although at least it isn’t Ryan gosling / Margot Robbie as Napoleon and Josephine and Joaquin phoenix / Vanessa kirkby as Barbie and Ken

@normhotchkiss @Miss_Bellatrix Beauregard Napoleon in gray by t Harry Williams , a great book in general , has an excellent chapter on this action

[AS Strahan 🇺🇦 @StigStrahan]

@normhotchkiss @Miss_Bellatrix Beauregard was largely in charge of Petersburg at the start of the siege and there was substantial disagreement over who should reinforce who and conflict with Davis and the govt over command and control lee also failing to perceive grants intentions

A bridge vignette field forge and campsite scenes for sharp practice napoleonic -a work in progress

[AS Strahan 🇺🇦 @StigStrahan]

@bryce963 @juliandale174 You can also play sharp practice in 15mm I do it all the time

[AS Strahan 🇺🇦 @StigStrahan]

@juliandale174 I don’t play much ancients but not napoleonic the first question is whether you prefer skirmish or larger battle rules, then if ur recreating historical battles or exploring tactics with hypothetical scenarios and then It’s largely what you enjoy

@Miss_Bellatrix Patrick abbazias book on chickamauga that is

[AS Strahan 🇺🇦 @StigStrahan]

@Miss_Bellatrix there is one guy who created a toxic work environment - John abbazias book on chickam’ga discusses how problematic he was due to a combinat’n of moodiness and rigidity, disinterest in following up to ensure orders issued turned into orders obeyed and had no sense for terrain

[AS Strahan 🇺🇦 @StigStrahan]

@CWBreakfastClub @Miss_Bellatrix This is a great little park to visit right off of i95 - Always stop there when I’m in area it is well signed has some great maps and signs explaining how this tied in with the Chancellorsville campaign -also updated bathrooms cotton fields and train tracks that run by it

[TooFatLardies🇺🇦 @TooFatLardies]

[AS Strahan 🇺🇦 @StigStrahan]

@TooFatLardies This is a truly awesome terrain board
