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.

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?

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.

Happy September 2nd!!!

    T his weekend, the question of what, precisely, constitutes an "imagination" came up in an online forum of which I am a part.  To be fair, the issue originates from further afield in a Facebook group that I am not a member of, but I weighed in with my own view.  The following was in response to the question posed yesterday (Sunday) morning by an exasperated member of my own rather more gentlemanly town square, who had been met with a strident response to information he shared about his (admirable) hobby activities on said FB group.  Here is, more or less, what I wrote: To my mind, the concept of imagi-nation(s) is a broad one.  It can range from historical refights or what-if scenarios/battles/campaigns between armies of a particular era, to completely made up combatants operating in a quasi-historical setting, to the rather generic red and blue forces of the Prussian Kriegspiel that examine a particular tactical problem, task, or exercise.   ...
