Just a quick post this morning to round out 2025. The Spanish artillery is coming along, and just in time for the new year, the Polish lancers have some new fancified leadership; Jan Konopka of the Vistula lancers in his newly received regalia from his promotion to General de Brigade after the heroic action at Albuera, and Pierre d'Autencourt, acting Colonel of the Imperial Guard Polish first Lancers.

With the Polish leadership now complete, I actually got a chance to get in a couple of games. I enjoyed another excellent game of Never Mind the Billhooks, which I won, and a game of DBN in which I lead the French to an ignominious defeat at the hands of the Austrians.

| Here the French assault has drawn the Austrians off the hill to what will certainly be there doom... |
 |
| Unfortunately, the French were soundly beaten by the stubborn Austrian infantry and cavalry, in what was a thorough defeat on all sides! |
 |
| At least I got to take comfort in a good warm fire after the rigors of an afternoon of strategy gaming! |
