Managed to get in a game of Liber Militum Tercios set during the Russo-Swedish War of 1656. I used ChatGPT to generate the hypothetical scenario "The Road to Narva" which has a Russian force trying to drive out Swedes from a village to consolidate holdings in Livonia.

End of Turn 4.
The game started off well for the Swedes but the tides turned after round 3 when the Swedes decided on a bit of a counter-attack.
While the Russians couldn't dislodge the Swedes entrenched in the village, they managed to inflict significant casualties and killed both Swedish commanders to secure a victory.

Beautiful armies there 8) ! The Little Wars TV chaps did a recent video of using ChatGPT to generate a scenario and forces etc too.
Great report
Good stuff

That LittleWarsTV video is what inspired me to try it out. I think I had only used the app once before to clean up a resume.
I was really impressed at the AI's ability to pull from all corners of the Internet to come up with a plausible scenario. I have heaps of reference books but sometimes you need a little nudge.
Once the AI came up with a scenario, I went back and changed the armies a bit to fit what I have in my collection and cleaned up some of the special rules to make them consistent with the rules.
