While von Adalnowski and von Topfsange are away from the wargaming table. . .

Let's have a few teaser photos while Colonel von Adalnowski and his guest Major von Topfsange are gallivanting through the neighboring countryside with the wild boar hunt.


Here, General de Latte (the man in blue, red, and gold at the left rear of this photo) joins his officers, who are recounting their exploits of the night before at a fancy dress ball, held at a nearby manor. The figures here are by RSM95 and MiniFigs with a vintage plastic one by Spencer Smith.


Meanwhile, the grim Stollenians hold out in Effibriest at the center of Teordorstal Valley. The village is garrisoned by half a battery and crew along with about 10 Jaeger zu Fuss, who occupy the far two houses beyond the gun.


Finally, here's is a photograph of General von Tschatschke (in pink), surrounded by his officers as they review their plans for the coming battle.

Looking forward to the battle report, once those two fellows return from their pig-sticking excursion.

Lots of "accidents" can happen during a hunt. Look what happened to William Rufus! Hummm...I see a lot of possibilities for sculduggary. Have any Stagonians been spotted lurking in the shadows?!

Not the vile Stagonian menace...
Are you sure it is a large boar and not two Stagonian assasins in a pantomime boar suit?

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...
