I dont know if youve ever played war games, but its really a miracle that San Jacinto resulted in a Texan victory.
I agree with you. In my experience though the war games both Board and real are very good but have some severe flaws in the initial designs of the games. And that is the spirit and morale of the units involved.
We try very hard to simulate those characteristics but never quite succeed. And of course mistakes and the ability to capitalize on them is difficult to put into the War Games.
Still it was a miracle at San Jacinto and Sam Houston made the best of it.
Which games?
Do you use the “Yellow Rose of Texas” as a MILDEC tactic like Sam did?
