Don't forget to vote. . . It's the right thing to do!


Only a week left for you to place your vote in the "Which Scenario Should They Fight in Early 2012?" poll.  Sittangbad remains in the lead with approximately 44% of the votes so far, but the river crossing scenario is running an increasingly close second.  Meanwhile, the armies of the Grand Duchy of Stollen and the Electorate of Zichenau are gathering and preparing for the march to the first tabletop battlefield.  But which one they march to and contest first has yet to be determined.  If you have not already done so, please be good enough to cast your vote before midnight on January 31st.  You can do so in the upper right-hand corner of the GD of S homepage.

With such a convincing argument I'd be embarrassed not to vote - so have done so!
Bravo, Peter! Well done. And thank you.

Best Regards,

I'd already voted but I do admire your choice of eye catching candy to tempt the unwary to your blog! You might like to see my art website for something similar and there will be more originals later in 2012.

My vote is now in.
Thank you Neil!
Very nice, Chris! I must admit, while I enjoy landscapes, the lady in the maid's apron with the feather duster is my favorite. It's got that 1940s-50s feel to it. Not too unlike some of the gals painted on the nose of American bombers during WWII.

Best Regards,

If the candidates looked as good, it would be easier to vote!

Thanks Stokes, it was the cheeky ladies rather than the landscapes, I was referring to.

Stokes,

I got an email from someone asking about the compatibility of Minden and RSM95 CAVALRY.

I didn't notice such a photo in your various comparison photos . . . might you provide such . . . or at least comment upon it?

Jeff,

I'll snap a few photos of Minden and RSM cavalry later today and get them up for your friend to peruse.

Best Regards,

Stokes

I've been loving your comparison photos. A lot of my current collection is from RAFM, fleshed out by some from Old Glory and some from Warrior. I'm eyeing some of the RSMs but I'm curious to see how they line in size to the RAFMs.

Cheers

Hi Peter,

I know the RAFM figures but don't have any in the collection to photograph beside any of the othrs in comparison. I think, however, that the RAFM are "true" 25mm, and so somewhat smaller than the RSM95 figures, which were originally marketed as true 1/60, or 30mm figures back in the early 80s. Still, as long as you keep the figures in distinct units, and maybe mount the smaller ones on thicker bases, it probably will not be something that sticks out too much on the tabletop.

Best Regards,

Stokes

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...

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!

Continued Regional Map Revisions. . .

F ooled around a bit more with the revised map just before and after dinner this evening, using the Fotor app to reinsert missing text .  I also removed a few other things using the 'Magic Eraser' function, which works surprisingly well.  Now, we're getting somewhere.  I just have to figure out how to ensure that the text is all a uniform font style and maybe figure out a way to add a few bunches of trees to suggest forested areas,  Ninja AI is not always entirely cooperative to the tune of "I'm sorry Dave.  I can't do that." -- Stokes
