Ukraine is kicking ass at the front, just liberated abother 200 km².
After 4 months of the Lyman counter-attack, Ukraine 🇺🇦 3rd Army Corps managed to cut Russian 🇷🇺 salient north of Lyman and liberate more than 200 km2 This is one of the most important victory for Ukraine in 2026 which will delay the offensive on northern Donbas 🧵THREAD🧵1/20⬇️

The Lyman salient is GONE. 🇺🇦 Ukrainian forces have cleared the entire sector north of Lyman, pushing Russian remnants back to the Zherebets River. 🔹 151.88 km² recaptured. 🔹 5+ villages liberated. 🔹 Threat to Slovyansk/Borova eliminated. 🔹 Infiltration into Luhansk Oblast has begun. 🇺🇦🤜🇷🇺A year of Russian invaders progress, erased. 📉

Victoria estratégica francesa con un desarrollo distinto al histórico, pero donde la clave ha estado una vez más en la caída del ala derecha bávara, que no ha podido aguantar ante el empuje del gran tamaño del ala izquierda francesa. @gmtgames @BenHull3 #MusketAndPike

Alerheim is one of my favorite battles in the series, I have played it many times. It was originally desktop published.
A great tactical simulation set in the 17th century. The combat, maneuvers, and command and control of the era are perfectly captured. Plus, it's a lot of fun. A gem designed by @BenHull3 . I'd give it a try—it's definitely worth it.

End of mission 4 Normandy. @gmtgames Fields of Fire Deluxe by @BenHull3. Started badly with Artillery fire decimating 2nd Platoon (7 infantry steps out of 10). Minefield clearance was slow and we had trouble clearing a deep bunker on the left flank. 1st Platoon had to be reassigned the main assault role and diverted through the cleared mines. However when we got to the objectives, no one was home and the remaining defenders elsewhere were finally silenced by friendly artillery. But with 4 cards not cleared we need to reattempt after running out of time.
