Happy New Year from the Grand Duchy of Stollen!

A suitably 18th century New Year's Greeting!

Here's wishing all of you a happy and peaceful 2016.  May it see more figure painting, more reading of actual history rather than rule sets, and more tabletop gaming than the year just ending.  Happy New Year!

The situation during Move Three of our Sittangbad refight, as seen from General MacDuff's side of the table, before additional exchanges of musketry, cannon fire, and melees are assessed.  Greg is, as usual, doing yeoman's work moving the troops for us according to our orders as well as communicating what Ross and I must take into consideration and do relative to the changing situation on the tabletop.

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...

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
