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!

Keepin' an Eye on the World Going By My Window . .

'The Nap at the Palace' by Jose Triado Mayol N ot much in the way of hobby-related activity happening here in the Grand Duchy lately.  Sigh.  And no surprise there really since there are only so many hours in the day, only so much mental and physical energy to spare, and you sometimes simply just have to give in and know when to say, um, "When!"  A glass of wine and/or evening yoga by the hearth with the Grand Duchess (who has practiced for over 20 years), and then off into la-la land.  Zzzzzzzzz.   More immediately, I'm recovering, mentally speaking, from a grueling Friday in which I was involved with three (online) conference sessions, one right after the other, followed by a 90-minute meeting at the end of the day. Also virtual. My brain has been mush ever since, so an easy, completely unproductive Saturday watching intermittent snow fall outside (no accumulation however) and drinking coffee while the visiting handymen completed some repair work down h...

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...
