War and peace

English: Alex Isabelle German: Laura Beltrami The Battle of Magdeburg, a complex and poorly organized night operation with which the RAF proposed to strike the capital of Saxony, lasted a total of eight hours. Eight hours in the "narrated" life of the game, where each turn corresponds to half an hour of simulated time; about eight hours (but I think even more) even in the real world, where we interspersed the game several times, making it last a total of three nights. On the one hand, some six hundred British bombers, divided into four groups, arrived from across the Channel in the form of a terrifying 250-mile long single line (think about it, a 250-mile line of bombers). On the other hand, the forces of the Nachtjagd, that is to say the branch of the German air force specialized in night fighters. As mentioned, the raid was badly organized. Underestimating the German ability to react, the Englishman opted for a centralized breakthrough in the direction of Helgoland Bay. Her...

American: Laura Beltrami British: Alex Isabelle This was "the Washington War" even though George Washington actually fought it very little. The northern colonies in fact soon turned into a sensational stalemate, marked only by occasional Iroquois riots. The American leader actually managed it quite badly and in 1776 he was almost captured: he managed to retreat before the battle, that he would have certeanly lost, and then built a well-garnished outpost in Springfield, where he cowardly remained until the end of the war.  The southern colonies went through a differen story. After the arrival of an English division, South Carolina and North Carolina were scared shitless and returned to fly the English flag, while Georgia, after a year of anarchy, chose to remain loyal to the rebel cause. Twice the congress venue was stormed and occupied by British troops. After the events of Philadelphia and Point Pleasant it was moved to the far south, to St. Mary's, in the devastated Geo...
