THE HONORED DEAD OF THE BATTLES OF SAINT VENERABLE BEACH & BEACH TREE ROAD

 Things are finally starting to get back to normal after the big work crunch. There are lots of plans in the works, but more on that in later posts. For now, it is time to take a moment to reflect on those troops that fell in our games. 

Allies Losses Were from Left to Right, Von Yapping's Battalion, Von Mutt's "The Whelps" Battalion, UPC's Snifferbutt's Dragoons, Softpad's Dragoons, Husky's Battalion, and Houndstooth's Battalion. 

Empire Loses Were from Left to Right, Beggin's Dragoon, Canineson's Cuirassier, an Artillery Battery, Woofing's Battalion, and Yowler's Battalion. 

The Empire's General Wagstail was Wounded While Leading His Cavalry Brigade. 

Over the course of the Campaign the Empire lost 14 Foot Regiments, 5 Cavalry Regiments and 4 Batteries of Artillery. The Allies of Von Mutts and UPC lost 13 Regiments of Foot, 6 Cavalry Regiments and no Artillery. Both had a General wounded in battle. This shows that taking the Sugar Islands was no simple task. The fight will be returning to the home front for the UPC in the Fall '25 Campaigns.  

THE HONORED DEAD of THE SNOW DAY BATTLE

 A very short post with an additional bit of eye candy. In a rather bloody battle, the Empire lost 63% of their forces compared to the Allies 25%. 

Empire Loses. An Artillery Battery, Lord Colliesworth's Battalion, Strongpaw's Battalion, Lord Basset's Battalion and Whine's Battalion. The Poor Whiner's Have Been Broken in Every Battle This Campain. 

For the Allies of Von Mutts and UPC each Lost a Converged Grenadier Group. While Far Fewer it is the Elite of Their Respective Armies. 

The Green River. It Looks Less Teal in Real Life. 

A project I have been working towards for a long time is to convert my rivers from blue to green. I have finished the first three feet, so only another fifteen feet to go. One other goal of this is to create sections of fords. These will act for the most part like bridges, except that shallow fords can be crossed by cavalry and infantry while maintaining their present formation. Deep fords cannot be used by artillery, and require cavalry and infantry to form column, but otherwise do not slow movement. 

THE HONORED DEAD of THE BATTLE OF THE FANCY RIVER BRIDGES

 This week's rolls include an unusual honor, the capture of the Empire's Sharpeyes Rifles Light Infantry by the UPC Whinestein Battalion. This is especially an odd moment as it also included the wounding of General Hunter by the Sharpeyes. 

The Empire's Line Infantry Loses were From Left to Right Strongpaw's Battalion, Lord Basset's Battalion North County Militia, Whine's Battalion, and Sir Sniffsalot's Battalion. 

The Other Losses are Beggin's Regiment of Dragoons, the Captured Sharpeye's Rifles, and Pawsworth's Regiment of Dragoon. 

The UPC Line Infantry Loses from Left to Right were Stalker's Battalion, Snarler's Battalion, and Whinestein Battalion. The Last were the Forces that Captured the Sharpeye's Rifles. 

The Remaining Allies Loses were the UPC's Woofington's Regiment of Cuirassiers, and Von Mutts "Mutts the Whelp's" Own Line. 

General Hunter

At day's end there were a number of other forces near to collapse. A very close and bloody battle.  

THE HONORED DEAD of THE BATTLE OF SAINT BERNARD

 In past I have kept lists and photographic records of the loses during games. As of late I had become lax at this but now I am back at it. Whenever a unit is routed in combat, I like to add a permanent remind by attaching a batch of red poppies to the base of the unit. If you are observant, you will have seen these in the battle reports. If instead you spot a purple batch, that is for a unit that has committed a great act of valor, or heroism. These are very few and I will leave you the reader to discover them. 

The Empire's Loses are Two Batteries of Artillery, Lord Pawling's Regiment (Cuirassier), The Onion City Militia, Lord Basset's Battalion of the Line, and Whine's Battalion of the Line. 

The UPC's Loses are Snarl's Battalion of the Line, Husky's Battalion of the Line, Converged Grenadiers, Woofington's Regiment (Cuirassier), Softpad's Regiment (Dragoons), and Snifferbutt's Regiment (Dragoons)

I do name all my General's and units. To save time and space I rarely use them in a report, but am considering expanding things if it clarifies description, or is warranted by some actions.
