I know you're not supposed to cross the streams, but I couldn't resist.

Hi Ken
ReplyDeleteNot too sure what you mean. But if you refer to the campaign map, that shows the position at the start of campaign move 9, at which point 3 Prussian corps was about to enter G6.
This would be the situation at the end of wargame move 4 and before move 5.

Paul
Hello, Paul--
ReplyDeleteThe original message is a paraphrase of Nimitz's "Where is Task Force 34?" (including the code padding preceding and following the message) during the battle of Leyte Gulf. The nature of the daily move gives the illusion that 3 Corps is taking its sweet time intervening. ;-) I know the truth is otherwise, but I couldn't resist having a little fun because we're not far past the anniversary of the Action off Samar.
Best,
Ken
