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!

Here's an RSM Painting Update

Here's a picture illustrating my (S-L-O-W) progress with the second company of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. You can see I'm doing things a bit differently this time, altering the painting process to keep it interesting basically. This evening, I'll do the white gaiters and, if that goes reasonably quickly, and time allows, the red breeches. Still lots to do, but I like the way these fine fellows are shaping up along side the completed 1st company that's standing in formation just off camera, to the left here. Until tonight then!

Presenting the Anspach-Bayreuth Kuirassiere!!!

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!

Having a "No Day". . .

  F or the almost 20 years that she lived in Mexico, one of my late mother's Irish friends frequently mentioned having a "No Day."  A day with no social obligations, chores, tasks, or other work that interfered with whatever personal interests took one's fancy on the day in question. Since today -- a gray and chilly Saturday -- is Mom's birthday, the Grand Duchess is out with friends, and the Young Master is ensconced on the sofa in the TV room with a cold, yours truly is taking his own such No Day.  I think Mom would approve of my decision to make the world go away, as the old Eddie Arnold song intoned, even if only for a little while. So, I will spend Saturday afternoon focused on that first squadron and small regimental staff of Eureka Saxon cuirassiers.  These have stood waiting  untouched over on the painting table for almost three weeks while we skied and otherwise gadded about with snowy, winter outdoor activities. I hope to share a painting update Sunday...
