The Situation at End of Move 2. . .

The state of affairs at the end of Move Two.

No shooting has started yet, but you can see that both Ross's troops (foreground) and mine (background) are racing to seize and control Fickmuhlen Village. Since the flanks of my lead cavalryrgiment is already exposed, I hope they can make some headway and wheel to attack the infantry to their left before the enemy cavalry can take effective action. Greg's move/fire stick is marked at six inch intervals by the way.

Best of luck Stokes. Watch those Canadians - they're a wily bunch.

Looks tricky for the Bordurians there at the end of Move Two and there's always that concern as to whether von Tschatschke is currently alert enough to seize the moment.

One's natural instinct might be to swing the swing the left-side Bordurian cavalry round to face the threat to their left flank, but rushing them forward may be the only opportunity to stop the enemy infantry entering the village. I'll be interested to see how Move Three pans out.

As CP3O would say, "Stokes, I'm afraid you are doomed."

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
