A Sittangbad Refight Update: Nearing the End of Move Five. . .

 Here is a general overview of the tabletop, again from behind General MacDuff's lines, before the second melee has been resolved.  Look closely, and you'll see that MacDuff's hot-tempered hussars have charged von Tschatschke's cuirassiers once more while the latter's own hussars have begun withdrawing through Sittangbad and (almost) across the bridge.  


Here is a closeup of the ensuing second cavalry melee of the game.  I must admit, this one took off quickly and reached fever pitch before I realized it.  Either way it goes, I am truly enjoying the experience given the miles that separate the three of us participating in the game.

Looks like a great game and great pictures!
Enjoy, PD
Thank you, Peter. Greg is taking some good photos o the game to help ROss and I along in our command decisions. I'm lightening and cropping a few of them with Phothop Elements before sharing here at the GD of S blog. Happy New Year!

Best Regards,

Good to see this progressing at such a brisk clip - the problem with online games is that they tend to lose momentum easily.
Yes, I agree. However, Greg is really doing his utmost to keep us on track. Of course, it helps to have an opponent like General MacDuff, who forces me to remain on my toes.

Best Regards,

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!

And It's the End of September!!!

  Saxony's Ploetz Cuirassiers, an illustration lifted from the Kronoskaf website, which has thus far guided my spectacularly glacial painting of 30 28mm Eureka Saxon cuirassiers purchased all the way back in October 2016. 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...

Happy September 2nd!!!

    T his weekend, the question of what, precisely, constitutes an "imagination" came up in an online forum of which I am a part.  To be fair, the issue originates from further afield in a Facebook group that I am not a member of, but I weighed in with my own view.  The following was in response to the question posed yesterday (Sunday) morning by an exasperated member of my own rather more gentlemanly town square, who had been met with a strident response to information he shared about his (admirable) hobby activities on said FB group.  Here is, more or less, what I wrote: To my mind, the concept of imagi-nation(s) is a broad one.  It can range from historical refights or what-if scenarios/battles/campaigns between armies of a particular era, to completely made up combatants operating in a quasi-historical setting, to the rather generic red and blue forces of the Prussian Kriegspiel that examine a particular tactical problem, task, or exercise.   ...
