Move Ten Continues. . .

The Action at Pickelhaubewicz is becoming fast and furious! Above, you'll note that Major von Hirschbiegel has ordered his remaining nine hussars into a double line. Three of those in the front rank are in direct contact with three dragoons.


Close by, the RSM of the Newts, Sergeant Major Horst Wuerst, joins his Irish allies in the double-townhouse, presumably to pour musket fire into the enemy dragoons.

Beautifully photograph Stokes. You certainly have captured the look and feel of The Wargame perfectly. Perhaps even better than Grant Sr himself. I have enjoyed visiting your blog throughout 2008 and look foreward to more inspiring visits in 2009.

Some fast and furious action, indeed. For Stollen, the game is far from up!

I'm awaiting the results of turn ten fire and melee. Will Von Grundig's forces win the cavalry melee and threathen the flank of the Wolmar-Bock regiment?

This could turn the tide of the battle!

More news! More news!

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...
