Thank you, Leibstandarte. I am pressing forward and will not quit until I see the victory screen!

Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment, Maaster Random. It is exhausting and somewhat tedious to continue the fight but I intend to see it through to the end, bitter or no!

August - October 1645 The 1645 campaign ends in exhaustion and bankruptcy for both sides. October1645.jpg The Catholic armies have been driven from the west bank of the Rhine.

July 1645 La Valette, seeing the approach of two Catholic armies, moves into the fortress of Koblenz. He waits for the promised relief column led by Saxe-Weimar and will then sortie forth.

May 1644 In a shocking development, the French army captures Koblenz by coup de main . It is believed that the city's extensive wine stocks are what prompted the speed and effectiveness of the French advance. But whatever the reason, the heretics now have a city on the Rhine to use as a base of ope...

July 1543 - April 1644 The Protestants made good their retreat with no further losses. Wallenstein got a bit carried away and ran out of supplies during his abortive pursuit. He lost some lads to attrition before he made it safely back to Frankfurt. The only other event over the winter is the outbr...

August 1642 - May 1643 It was a long, cold winter at Frankfurt for Gustavus and his lads. The city has still not fallen and the Swedes couldn't get three breaches in Frankfurt's defenses to save their lives! However because of the ample heretic supply train the Protestant army did not suffer too ba...

August 1642 Gustavus crosses the Main and defeats Wallenstein yet again.

June 1642 The French were soundly thrashed at Mainz and beat a hasty retreat to Metz. The capons and Riesling of Mainz are saved! Junebattle.jpg The battle at Frankfurt did not occur.

The heretic hope appears to be to strike hard with the ...

Here is my GC .hst file. The Protestant side shows Paris as the phantom city. And you are killing me on the sea transport, amigo! But thanks for continuing to work on TYW!

Some Game Notes for Senor Leibstandarte, from my AAR 'A Fatal Conflagration': 1. The city of Paris does not appear to be on the map. There is the name and an indicator that it is a level 8 city, but there is no city symbol, no fortress and no depot. Not sure what is going on here and what affect it ...

September 1639 - March 1640 Both Magdeburg and Bremen fell to the heretics in September. Trier fell to the French (who might as well be heretics!) in November. An early Spring in 1640 will mean a long campaign season this year: mar1640.jpg Wallenstein gathered the best remnants of the armies of Til...

July-August 1639 Aldringer escaped (after losing half his army!) and will rendezvous with Tilly and Wallenstein at Kassel. Together they will ponder the best course of action for 1640.

June 1639 Gustavus defeats Aldringer at Magdeburg, but does not capture the field. battlejun39.jpg Aldringer will attempt to retreat to Kassel but the fear of the Swedish cavalry is heavy on his soldier's minds.

December 1638 - May 1639 After a quiet winter the Protestants explode into northern Germany. Gustavus quickly captured Havelberg and will most likely fall on Magdeburg next. Saxe-Weimar captured Lunebeck and Kiel and is expected to move south on Hanover soon. Aldringer's army is digging in as fast ...
