"La Bataille" Considered - by Jeff Capuano

Very interesting video produced by Jeff Capuano. Sure to be of great interest to fans of the La Bataille series. This is the first in a planned series of presentations on the La Bataille board wargame system. "These are not tutorials; more like a series of examinations of the system by an awful but thoughtful player."
