Huzzah! It's our first episode of Beachhead in the Scuttle the Fleet network! Today we tackle the 2nd Assault on Fort Fisher and the lessons learned from the failure of the first assault. This is a great primer into what a successful amphibious invasion looks like and what led to its success. Plus we talk about Commodores because #CommodoresAreCool
We also launched our website! Check us out at scuttlethefleet.com for book reviews, after action reports from our war-games, updates on the French Navy, and more! Oh and lots of scuttlings!
