Summer 2020 Newsletter
Just a quick note this time to mention two exciting events The first is that the Charles S. Roberts awards are back in play this year after a long absence. We'd like to encourage all of you to vote for your favorite TPS game from 2019 by clicking on this link or clicking on the banner below:
The Battle of Marathon took place where, oddly enough, two armies confronted each other for FIVE days with almost no fighting, and Athenian democracy was put to the test as the Greek forces debated (and voted) whether or not to attack the Persians.
At the Battle of Chalons facing the dreaded Huns, the Roman general in charge was, at best, only "half-Roman". In fact he was closer to his allies and adversaries than most Roman commanders of the day. General Aetius actually had Hunnish warriors fighting FOR him in earlier battles, and spent time with both the Huns and Goths as a honored hostage.
The decisive blow struck at the Battle of Blenheim resounded through every part of Europe. It at once destroyed the vast fabric of power which it had taken Louis XIV, aided by the talents of Turenne and the genius of Vauban, so long to construct.
Finally, the Day of Waterloo. The French Baron de Marbot perhaps put it best when he wrote after the battle, "I cannot get over our defeat. We were maneuvered like so many pumpkins."
Then last, a new voting category this year is postcard games. Again, TPS has an entry for 2019 called A Hard Pounding Fight. You can see it below and again, click on it to learn more.
Your vote could be, well, decisive (just like our battles)!
OK, now on to our second special announcement:
