Obscure Battles in the Spotlight

CSW member, Jeff Barry, has created the new blogsite, Obscure Battles. This blog features detailed descriptions (including highly detailed maps and precise, unit-by-unit orders of battle) for lesser known battles. Battles covered so far include Mollwitz 1741, Chotusitz 1742, Soor 1745 and Durnstein 1805. The author would love to get some reaction from fellow CSW members. Each submission proposes interesting “what ifs” to test in a wargame, as well as special tactical features of each battle that the author feels would be interesting to analyze.
