blogging

My sporadic blogging has been interrupted...or rather my life has been interrupted by one word...

Books by Post


So all the above arrived in the mail courtesy of the people at Amazon, whom I now have to support since Borders has gone bankrupt and left only stores that tend towards poor when it comes to shelves of US History. But this should give me a bit of a start, or should that be a re-start into the period as I look to use this,

...which hopefully will offer a bit better game than On to Richmond, if only to appease my regular opponent.

Terezin


I saw this on Flintlock and Tomahawk and feel a little inspired to get back into American War of Independence, or even (as in the video) the French Indian Wars...but I do really need to finish just a few more units for ACW and get my painted stuff back from Phil Greg Painting in Sri Lanka before I get too carried away on a new period.*

* NOTE: Thomo you need to take note of this plan and not try to be too evil in your attempts to subvert me ~grin~

Browncoats...

Introducing the gf to Firefly that's all I am going to say about that...

...save, one thing...
"This is the captain. We're having a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode."
hahaha, loved this show, can't believe short sighted pencil dick bean counters cancelled it before it had a chance to really get going, but I guess that's what made it such a cult hit with the uber-geeks.

Photographing WWII

The Atlantic is doing a feature on WWII in photographs, and while they do tend to be a little American, this gallery gave me reason enough to get excited again about doing FOW in the Pacific.

On a side note, a series of ankle injuries (one following on the other) has put pause to my hex-project...though I do have the whole project planned, so it is happening. Just slower than I had hoped.
