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...

Once again I urge you to consider 'writing this battle up' for BATTLEGAMES.
You have many wonderful photos . . . and, especially considering that this is a BATTLEGAMES 'Teaser', I suspect that Henry might well want to publish it . . . you should at least inquire.
Finally, I hope that you and the Grand Duchess Sonja have a delightful New Year.

I really like the paint job on the Stollenian Jaeger zu Fuss. Exactly how a light infantry unti should look.
I'm a bit of a fan of the old "Kleine Krieg", so most light infantry units get the thumbs up from me anyway.
(Hope the thumbs up sign means the same over there as it does in the UK).

Stokes and I had already been talking about doing a joint write-up of the game for Battlegames. We shall see what comes of it, but we're both interested in the idea.
