A rmed with a second cup of fresh, strong coffee, I messed around a bit this morning with artlist.io using its image to image function in an attempt to convert my hand-drawn map from September 2006 to something that more resembles an old map from the mid-18th century. And just like my experiments with Ninja AI in June, the results are mixed. The above map is pretty good, but Artlist keeps fouling up the place names and has trouble putting a faint overlay of hexes across the entire area. Hexes, admittedly, are not likely to be found on any genuine maps from the era in question, but there we are. Frankly, I prefer the appearance of the Ninja map, but there were problems getting it to correct its errors. Grrrr. As is the case with so much having to do with the various AI's out there now, the output generated is a direct result of the prompts entered. For text alone, and when you develop a lengthy, highly detailed prompt, it is...
Besides basecoating artillery crew and cannon this evening, I had a chance to take a few nicer photographs of the recently finished Ermland Garde. Jim Purky’s figures over at his Hesse-Seewald blog are always so well presented that I felt like sprucing things up a bit here in the Grand Duchy of Stollen. Hope you like these pictures. They show off my figures more nicely than the usual green, paint-splotched cutting mat. Enjoy!

Yes they do look well all laid out in front of your buildings.
When do you think the first 'skirmish' might come about?

Outstanding unit with a very propitious background: greatly helps the 'willing suspension of disbelief'.
Compliments;

Something to look forward to after Christmas . . . a report from the Stollenian front.

I like the simple trees and buildings, they go well with figs
