Germans win 22-0.
More importantly, they keep the Brits off the bridge which means they will get reinforcements at Pegasus.

The Russian Campaign - First Play
I played through the 3rd Edition of Avalon Hill's classic, The Russian Campaign, as a solo play. It was the first time I'd sat down to run through the game and decided to play the full campaign. Though I didn't play all the way through to May of '45.
The biggest surprise about playing this game: the response on social media. On Google + and especially Facebook, the response has been overwhelming. Comments around missing this classic, playing it so many times as a kid, wanting to play it again, suggestions, tactics, etc. It was fun everytime I post something to see what would be said.
Basically I made it to through the May/June 1943 turn and called it quits. It was fun, but with my poor strategic play, it was becoming a WWI style stalemate. (A challenge with solo play.) I will play again, probably a smaller scenario. Also, I want to spend some time reading through the suggestions and finding the old General articles for tips. A better reading of the rules will help as well.
Below is my video playlist of 4 videos following the game progress:
And below are a few pictures from my Facebook Russian Campaign album.

PanzerBlitz 2 Carentan AAR - Part 2
I get PanzerBlitz out again to relearn the rules. This is the small Carentan Scenario out of the Operations magazine. And I notice how bad these videos look having to download them at such low resolution. My phone is my way of loading video and I'm clean out of room. Sorry for the poor quality. I need to make shorter videos for better quality until such a time I can upgrade my equipment.

Understanding unit designations by Tyler
Ty, a board wargamer, shares insight into how to understand unit designations.
I learnt this kind of info as I got into miniatures and had to figure how units were put together.
Well written with illustrations.
