Battles

 A great day for processing chickens.  In our 3rd year of doing this we have learned a lot and we are getting better at it.  We added several new pieces of equipment and that make things work better.  But it also takes understanding on how to make everything work together.  We love growing and processing or own food.    

 Here is my "Lego Style" D-Day 

  For my next club game I think I am going to do some Operation Mars. This was the other Soviet attack that centered on the German army group center in November and December of 1942. It is forgotten because of Operation Uranus which was the cutting off and destroying of the the Sixth army in Stalingrad. Operation Mars was a complete disaster and was kept from the Soviet history books until after the death of Stalin. It is interesting because it was bigger then Uranus with a lot more troops and equipment. The German defense was so good they went on the offense but because of the disaster to the south all the troops needed to do a full counter attack were not available. As a matter of fact the German generals pulled back a little to get a better defensive position. This enraged the man at the top. It would take till the spring of 43 before the Soviets would push the Germans back.
