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.

While it is true that they've loaded up all of the prime finished lumber that His Vileness desires for his Royal Rack, and have dismantled much of the equipment (sawblades, key cogs, etc.) and also loaded it on their wagons . . . they have done so for the PROTECTION of this key equipment.
It is well known that the lobster lovers are particularly inept on the battlefield and that they are more than likely to accidentally destroy the sawmill during the fighting.
Thus, for the protection of the key components of the sawmill, they will be conveyed to safety in Stagonia . . . to be returned once Stollen is safely in the hands of Stagonia.

Once again all of us in Saxe-Bearstein urge Stokes and all of those in his Grand Duchy of Stollen to beware of vile Stagonian treachery!

PS, great set-up, Stokes.
Here's to a Stollenian victory!
some years ago you were kind enough to express a wish to emulate an old school game I was playing. I think with these pictures the roles are rversed. I am now in awe and envy of your set up.
well done, please keep on sharing the pictures.
