It's amazing how much time can get by you and how quickly it can seem to do it. I wonder if I've been in a time warp or abducted by aliens? Whatever the reason, I've been reading other's blogs and have been inspired to dust mine off.
My last posts had to do with an American Civil War project I was working on. Well, if memory serves me correctly, I called my buddy John on a Thursday and said I had the figures done so he came back with, "OK, I'll be down Saturday for a game." That didn't leave much time for terrain making of any kind, but I was able to rough-out a game. You can see the astounding pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11231824@N08/sets/72157618711391897/
There's no rhyme or reason to the picture sequence, but you can get a good idea how things progressed.
The Union right, near the wheatfield and peach orchard, was pretty roughly handled, but the boys on Devil's Den put up a hellacious defense and were still holding their own as Vincent's brigade occupied Little Round Top. We were only able to play maybe half of the scenario but it was pretty obvious the Rebs were going to be stymied.
My latest project is World War I, 1914, East Prussia. The period is one of my favorites due largely to Barbara Tuchman's "The Guns of August". I think I've read that book 5 or 6 times, maybe more. The war could very well have been won in 1914, but the August campaign boiled down to a massive deadlock.

Well, much more has happened since I started the blog way back when, but that should emerge here as I continue to make posts. Until next time, then!

Hi Bob, you said on the Hinton Hunt blog that you had some spare HH cavalry, 16 hussars in busby, 10 line chasseurs, 8 hussars in shakoes, and c.8 grenadiers a cheval. I'm guessing these are all OPC figures? While my heart's desire is a dismountable (separate rider) unit of hussars, beggars can't be choosers and I've been looking for years and not found any. I'll close here and post this to see if you approve comments before publishing, if you do I'll add another with my email which I'll ask you not to publish.
Ah, no approval. How do you want to exchange contact details - I don't want my personal email published online.
