Thank you all!

Friends. Wargamers. Miniature Collectors. Imaginary Country Enthusiasts. Loyal subjects. It seems there have been about 1000 visitors to the Grand Duchy of Stollen -- 1768 since adding a counter several weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who regularly drops by, especially those of you who leave suggestions and comments behind. Feedback is always a good thing. Stay tuned in future weeks. There's much more to come!

Irwin Amadeus II -- Grand Duke of Stollen

Congratulations!

I check your blog (among a few others) every day to see what's new. I want to read more about Stollen and its history.

Hi Murdock,

Free counters are easy to find all over the web, and it's fairly easy to attach one to your blog or website. mine is www.free-traffic-counter.com. Enjoy!

I enjoy the blog and pop in just about every day - except weekends when I try not to use the pc at all (eats into the painting time).

Keep it up!

I agree about the PC eating into time for other things, painting and etc. Despite my best intensions, I usally end of looking at it (not actually accomplishing anything!) during the weekends unless I make a conscious effort NOT to turn it on. Seems surfing the web has become my substitue for TV, which I abandoned completely and with no regrets in January 2002.

Best Regards,

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.   ...
