The New Issue of Battlegames Has Arrived!

The new issue of Battlegames (#14) has arrived here at Stollen Central. Hurrah!!! Every single article looks interesting and worthy of a good read -- every one. Even the fantasy column, something I usually ignore. How is it that an already stellar publication keeps improving with each successive issue? Now, the difficult question. Do I spend the evening painting, or reading?

Stokes! I'm surprised that there would even be a question. The obvious answer is BOTH!

I have to agree with Martin!

Battlegames does indeed seem to go from strength to strength.

This issue's "eye-candy" is great- Phil Olley's Prussians really inspire- and I found Barry Hilton's article on painting and especially basing very useful.

Charles Grant's Table Top Teaser is just crying out for a run through!

*sigh* . . . my copy won't be here for a while . . . Canada Post is lethargic when it comes to delivering my BATTLEGAMES Magazine.

So, Stokes, enjoy it for me, okay?

I'm with Martin - go for both! You deserve it!

p.s any thoughts of turning to fantasy wargaming in some shape or form as a side project?
Stokes - I agree... I read it cover to cover and that doesn't happen very often with wargames magazines these days!

Battlegames is the ONLY wargaming magazine on my 'buy without a second thought' list. I've said so elsewhere, and was mildly surprised when some of my comments actually showed up on the BG website (in the 'testimonals' section.) Seeing that just made my day!

Presenting the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere!!!

Here they are, with the rearmost nine figures still drying, three squadrons of the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere, now in the service of the Grand Duchy of Stollen. And now, it's onto that artillery!

Keepin' an Eye on the World Going By My Window . .

'The Nap at the Palace' by Jose Triado Mayol N ot much in the way of hobby-related activity happening here in the Grand Duchy lately.  Sigh.  And no surprise there really since there are only so many hours in the day, only so much mental and physical energy to spare, and you sometimes simply just have to give in and know when to say, um, "When!"  A glass of wine and/or evening yoga by the hearth with the Grand Duchess (who has practiced for over 20 years), and then off into la-la land.  Zzzzzzzzz.   More immediately, I'm recovering, mentally speaking, from a grueling Friday in which I was involved with three (online) conference sessions, one right after the other, followed by a 90-minute meeting at the end of the day. Also virtual. My brain has been mush ever since, so an easy, completely unproductive Saturday watching intermittent snow fall outside (no accumulation however) and drinking coffee while the visiting handymen completed some repair work down h...

Having a "No Day". . .

  F or the almost 20 years that she lived in Mexico, one of my late mother's Irish friends frequently mentioned having a "No Day."  A day with no social obligations, chores, tasks, or other work that interfered with whatever personal interests took one's fancy on the day in question. Since today -- a gray and chilly Saturday -- is Mom's birthday, the Grand Duchess is out with friends, and the Young Master is ensconced on the sofa in the TV room with a cold, yours truly is taking his own such No Day.  I think Mom would approve of my decision to make the world go away, as the old Eddie Arnold song intoned, even if only for a little while. So, I will spend Saturday afternoon focused on that first squadron and small regimental staff of Eureka Saxon cuirassiers.  These have stood waiting  untouched over on the painting table for almost three weeks while we skied and otherwise gadded about with snowy, winter outdoor activities. I hope to share a painting update Sunday...
