T his weekend, the question of what, precisely, constitutes an "imagination" came up in an online forum of which I am a part. To be fair, the issue originates from further afield in a Facebook group that I am not a member of, but I weighed in with my own view. The following was in response to the question posed yesterday (Sunday) morning by an exasperated member of my own rather more gentlemanly town square, who had been met with a strident response to information he shared about his (admirable) hobby activities on said FB group. Here is, more or less, what I wrote: To my mind, the concept of imagi-nation(s) is a broad one. It can range from historical refights or what-if scenarios/battles/campaigns between armies of a particular era, to completely made up combatants operating in a quasi-historical setting, to the rather generic red and blue forces of the Prussian Kriegspiel that examine a particular tactical problem, task, or exercise. ...
And here's a solo shot of the dastardly Colonel Von Cranz! You can see where I wrestled with "clumping" of the Ral Partha acrylic white paint on his steed's neck, just above the reins. I should have used thinner washes rather than a single coat of paint. That's what I get for hurrying along. Ah well, a coat of Future floor polish should visually smooth that out when I apply it my favorite clear protective coat. In general though, Von Cranz not at all bad for an unlikable guy.

All that I see is some of the steed's lather from being ridden hard by the "dastardly Colonel von Cranz".
After all, the colonel is not known for being kind to man, woman or beast . . . so obviously that is lather on the horse.
