First is @zweigefuhle about graphic design in wargaming. Then comes @djackthompson about simulation & statistical modeling, along with @mtiller . All of them worked on Battle Card Market Garden, now the free entry to the new LINE of Battle Cards published by @postmarkgames

I can’t figure out when I last visited Antietam, but it pre-smartphones. Then, too, my time was short because of a biz trip. This time I did a GPS-enabled audio tour in the rental car. Nice!

Last stop for me was the Worthington House, not far from Worthington Ford where CSA Cavalry made it across the river and began to push the Federals back. A boy hiding with his family in the basement published a firsthand account of the battle decades later (Fighting for Time)

Last one for Fort Stevens. I had to show what it looked like from the opposing side. Though of course they didn’t get this close. (Also heard on that NPS podcast that virtually all of the trees in front of the fort were cleared for proper fields of fire. Of course!)
