As long as it doesn't mean I'm replacing onto the top of the chain of command, I'm game.

We're just roleplaying. :france:

Also, Prussians? At Austerlitz? Is that the kind of dirty tricks silvergoose was talking about?

Because it's 1805, not 1955.

Too late for this turn, but feel free to use all commands available to you (including independents) to make up for it next turn.

You know what? I'll write a thought or two about each turn I do and post them at the end.

I've been doing that and it would be cool if others did, too.

Maybe, maybe not. Keep waiting for those airstrikes to soften up the French before you attack!

You clearly didn't anticipate any form of resistance. If you want to cut your suffering short, we will accept your graceful surrender.

Also, if it's a draw, I would like to note that I have STILL not ever lost at this game. Someday, someday.

Let's continue then! :getin:

Seriously, though, I'm with Gutter Owl in having forgotten most of what was going on.

I'd be open to starting over and trying again, though.

Btw, the French center would have been absolutely crushed if it had gone another turn.

Not surprising. One thing I remember is being apprehensive at how shaky our line looked there.

Gutter Owl posted:

But yeah. As it stood, we were doomed to a center split from Langerion. As soon as Frankenfreak posted their turn, I just put my head in my hands. No fault of Frank's though. I was running a pretty risky gambit, and I can't blame them for not reading my mind.

I was to focussed on blindly following orders to actually looking at what was happening to my right and especially my left. I only did when I was already committed to the attack, I also didn't really do my math on it, so bad turn from me there all around.

As for the 134 situation, I made a mistake in not attacking in the correct order, with the push from Das Schloss coming up later, once the enemy was committed. However, once it all happened, I knew what units Dokhtorov had and I knew that I can hold him with a single 2-inf unless he pushed with two guys, and if he wanted to do that, he had to reattach them to his corps, and that would give me an advance warning.

Or you could just have feinted from 134. That would have accomplished drawing a tile away from Dokhtorov without losing the cavalry. Part of my frantic feinting was me trying to demonstrate that feinting is a thing is this game and hoping you'd pick up on it and do it, too.

Every time my orders were posted, my immediate thought was "NONONO DON'T DO THAT WHY DID I TELL YOU TO DO THAT WHAT WAS I THINKING."

That's the beautiful challenge in the team play rules, though. Between the delay, no other communications, and no plan surviving contact with the enemy it does a very good job of simulating a chaotic battlefield.

I never received an order to attack, and our pre-match tactics suggested a largely defensive stance unless reinforcements came in.

I think he's talking about the killing zone we wanted to create around the Santon which the Allies never walked into.
