The New Issue of Battlegames Has Arrived!

The new issue of Battlegames (#14) has arrived here at Stollen Central. Hurrah!!! Every single article looks interesting and worthy of a good read -- every one. Even the fantasy column, something I usually ignore. How is it that an already stellar publication keeps improving with each successive issue? Now, the difficult question. Do I spend the evening painting, or reading?

Stokes! I'm surprised that there would even be a question. The obvious answer is BOTH!

I have to agree with Martin!

Battlegames does indeed seem to go from strength to strength.

This issue's "eye-candy" is great- Phil Olley's Prussians really inspire- and I found Barry Hilton's article on painting and especially basing very useful.

Charles Grant's Table Top Teaser is just crying out for a run through!

*sigh* . . . my copy won't be here for a while . . . Canada Post is lethargic when it comes to delivering my BATTLEGAMES Magazine.

So, Stokes, enjoy it for me, okay?

I'm with Martin - go for both! You deserve it!

p.s any thoughts of turning to fantasy wargaming in some shape or form as a side project?

Stokes - I agree... I read it cover to cover and that doesn't happen very often with wargames magazines these days!

Battlegames is the ONLY wargaming magazine on my 'buy without a second thought' list. I've said so elsewhere, and was mildly surprised when some of my comments actually showed up on the BG website (in the 'testimonals' section.) Seeing that just made my day!

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...

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...
