This is well-done and has an interesting take on when and why wargames became a serious tool for military men: The representation of scale. YouTube link

Jim: sigh I tried. I cross-posted to several lists including History of Wargaming, Napoleonic, 18 and 19th century discussion… as well as where I started, Historical wargaming… and nada. I finally posted this on Game Design, but again, no crossposting worked, though the TMP process gave the impression it did go through.

I gave it another try.

Perseverance is sometimes a virtue. TMP has its quirks I know. Usually picking the best single board avoids any disposing issues.
