Fields of Fire, solo

I finally finished the extra, extra long Naktong defensive mission in the Korea campaign. I sort of chunked it out over a number of days doing an hour here and there. It was a complete disaster but I still managed to win and hold enough ground to continue the campaign. While it is a night attack, it isn't *that* dark at +2, so you're still going to eat losses. I lost a huge number of units, ending with just three commanders---my first sergeant, 2nd platoon HQ, and my CO HQ. And that was after losing my COHQ. So this mission is a real widowmaker over 12 turns.

It was a pretty harrowing game, I was pretty sure it was all going to collapse and, based on that first picture of how the end of the night looked, it almost did/was in the middle of doing so. It came out pretty close to historical, as this was an all-out final offensive by the NKPA to break the UN lines that won but at too high a cost to continue.

We'll see how the next mission goes, I'm starting with a company that is starting with I think 4 less platoons due to unreplaced losses.

We haven’t given up on the quest to play every Uwe. On Sunday we played Nusfjord, which is my absolute favorite Uwe. It’s a masterpiece. The decision space is so tight, the scoring so close, and it’s full of all the classic anxiety and stress that are hallmarks of Herr Rosenberg’s games. 5/5, must play. #boardgames #brettespiele #EveryUwe

Ich gebe ja zu, dass ich ein riesen Fan von #brettespiele #inserts bin. Nun bin ich am überlegen, ob es sich lohnt, lieber einen 3D-Drucker zu kaufen. Oder sind die Drucker von Eurohell und Co so gut und teuer, dass ich denen da als Privatmensch mit begrenztem Budget überhaupt nicht das Wasser reichen kann?
