OSW weekend

Over on the OSW Yahoo group, it was asked what people were up to this weekend.



In my case, I was rebasing troops. LOTS of troops:

• Four 60-figure 30:1 Prussian regiments into 4 BAR Germanian Battalions (2 musketeer, 2 fusilier with grenadier companies included)


• One 24-figure Prussian Standing Grenadier battalion into half of a BAR Germanian battalion


• 24 Prussian cuirassiers


• 30 Austrian cuirassiers


• 16 assorted mounted general officers

They look marvellous, and once I get the table cleared, the photos will follow.



I also made up ~40 movement trays for BAR out of thick card, paper steel, and green paint.



Note to Jean-Louis:



Snibor-Renraw is the ImagiNation of my friend Ray. The troops will be Eureka Dutch War of the Austrian Succession.

Two months?! And a request for help

Wow, where in the world has two months gone? I've got a bunch of troops based up over the last few weeks, but not much else has been accomplished on the ImagiNation front.

I wrote up a post on my favorite wargames articles, but must have left it on the other thumb drive. I'll post it tomorrow.

In the meantime, does anyone have a copy of Military Modelling Manual 1983? I would like to get a copy to peruse Charles Grant's article, 'Generals, their Personalities and Staff in Wargames.'

Also, I'm looking to get a copy of Practical Wargamer, September/October 1994 for the article on 'Mainz 1792.'

Finally, can anyone give a comparative review of Don Featherstone's "Solo Wargaming" to Stuart Asquith's "The Partizan Press Guide to Solo Wargaming?" The Asquith version is much more accessible, and I'm looking for some pointers in this direction.

Thanks,
Ed
