The only problem we had was when the older ink jet printers didn't recognise 2000 as a leap year - the convention was that end of centuries are not leap years but this one was for some reason I no longer remember.<br />I look forward to reading more on the life and activities within the Duchy in 2010.<br />Happy New Year to you all.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-49464273224235910752010-01-02T02:19:58.134-06:002010-01-02T02:19:58.134-06:00Best wishes for the new year and thanks for sharin...Best wishes for the new year and thanks for sharing your plans. For the FFS I have an interesting scheme in mind, which entails only a small increase in my forces, more to follow on my FFS blog in due course.<br /><br />like Fitz-Badger I was also involved in Y2K preparation and we (a large multinational) were also sure there would not be any problem. That said we did discover faults in lesser software and we also prepared to exploit any opportunities if something similar affected our competitors!<br /><br />WillFire at Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816572506887450180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-21040484246972756122010-01-01T18:27:44.559-06:002010-01-01T18:27:44.559-06:00First, check with Rich, but it might be cheaper to...First, check with Rich, but it might be cheaper to order a bag of the Pandours as opposed to buying them at the price for individuals.<br /><br />Second, I am sure that you could easily persuade Stagonia to provide an opponent again . . . if you dare to risk the wrath of the rain gods again (Stagonia's two most recent proxy battles were both stopped by rain -- Tippelbruder and the Sawmill).<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-80833913713792195492010-01-01T16:59:51.879-06:002010-01-01T16:59:51.879-06:00Happy New Year!

From that I was pretty confident there wasn't going to be much of an issue.<br /><br />I'll be ordering a few books myself. And planning to get more games played and reported. Also pondering what to add to my ImagiNations armies and the possibility of getting back into 19th century Colonial gaming.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-62011107570252386202010-01-01T14:53:58.573-06:002010-01-01T14:53:58.573-06:00Happy new year!

I have quite a few of Revell Prussian boxes to use up. After an undisturbed day in my soldier room, reading various books and surfing the web, I have decided to raise a Saxon contingent of initially 4 musketeer regiments and two amalgamated grenadier battalions including the red coated Liebgrenadiergarde unit. That should add a bit of colour to the massed ranks of white. It is great to be re-enthused by the project taking a new direction.<br /><br /> Apparently after the initial disaster early in the war when a large section of the Saxon army surrendered at Pirna, about 12,000 managed to reach the west and fight with the French. Also one of the regiments was called Prinz Anton which is my brothers name so I really do not need any more excuse.<br /><br />I will do the infantry first and then worry about the artillery and cavalry. Hopefully Zvesda will release some cavalry which will serve.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Guyguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346804356499461777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-33870896391657939952010-01-01T13:43:14.544-06:002010-01-01T13:43:14.544-06:00A Happy New Year to you and yours, Stokes.
