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!

And It's the End of September!!!

  Saxony's Ploetz Cuirassiers, an illustration lifted from the Kronoskaf website, which has thus far guided my spectacularly glacial painting of 30 28mm Eureka Saxon cuirassiers purchased all the way back in October 2016. A gray, cool Saturday here in Mid-Michigan with rain in the forecast. The Grand Duchess is away at a conference, so it's just "The Boys" here at home. The Young Master (almost 15) has retreated to his room for something or other following breakfast while I have stolen back down here to Zum Stollenkeller (masquerading as my office) with a second mug of coffee and both cats comfortably ensconced nearby. Enjoying the late morning and still in my pajamas! Not much planned for today beyond designing a couple of promotional flyers for workshops my department is presenting (small parties we will throw?) in October and November.  With maybe a bit of on the next podcast script. More important,  I am toying with the idea of returning for an hour or...

Happy September 2nd!!!

    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.   ...
