Now, this is it!!!

If you have not done so already, click on the Balsthof Blog link here: http://blasthofblog.blogspot.com and feast your eyes upon Phil Olley's balanced force of Charge-inspired Spencer Smith figures. This is Classic Wargaming at its finest. I'm almost speechless with awe and enthusiasm.

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...
