Sittangbad 2015: The Situation at the End of Move Two. . .

A panoramic view of the general situation at the close of Move Two.

Starting to shuttle my own troops across the River Weser, and General MacDuff's regiments are now visible in the distance.  As Princess Lea said to Han Solo way back in the original Star Wars (1977) as the Millennium Falcon sped away from the docking bay of the Death Star and the Tie Fighters appeared on their tails, "Here they come!"

O Tannenbaum Christmas Carol second verse rewritten!

O Sittangbad
O Sittangbad
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Kriegspiel von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Sittangbad

It's looking good for the Stollenian forces at the moment and I hope the good General's plan survives contact with the enemy, but is that him already on the 'home' side of the river?
Best wishes,

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...

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
