Move Ten Continues. . .

The Action at Pickelhaubewicz is becoming fast and furious! Above, you'll note that Major von Hirschbiegel has ordered his remaining nine hussars into a double line. Three of those in the front rank are in direct contact with three dragoons.


Close by, the RSM of the Newts, Sergeant Major Horst Wuerst, joins his Irish allies in the double-townhouse, presumably to pour musket fire into the enemy dragoons.

Beautifully photograph Stokes. You certainly have captured the look and feel of The Wargame perfectly. Perhaps even better than Grant Sr himself. I have enjoyed visiting your blog throughout 2008 and look foreward to more inspiring visits in 2009.

I'm awaiting the results of turn ten fire and melee. Will Von Grundig's forces win the cavalry melee and threathen the flank of the Wolmar-Bock regiment?

This could turn the tide of the battle!

More news! More news!

The Eventual Anhalt-Zerbst Regiment. . .

  The Anhalt-Zerbst regiment musters in the drill square to sort themselves into platoons and companies during the coming weeks  Fall maneuvers if you will. A large dose of real life the last few days with the start of classes next Monday, various preparatory meetings, and finishing up a few other things this week.  But, I managed to sort out 60 or so Minden Austrian infantry from the pile and get 'em stuck to temporary painting bases.  Must carefully drill out the hands of several NCOs for flagpoles and pole arms this weekend before the usual basecoat.   I'm thinking of mixing the usual white gesso with the usual light gray to kill two birds with one stone so to speak.  Applying both base- and undercoat in one fell swoop as my grandmother used to say. In the meantime, the recently finished squadron of Saxon cuirassiers has been placed carefully in one of the clear acrylic boxes on my shelves until I have the suitable flag to affix.   -- Sto...

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...
