Hi :). I want to share my latest work with you.
Gand Master Voldus :

Visit my blog where I have more photos : maciejus.blogspot.com/2017/11/grand-master-voldus-trumvirate-of.html

TMP really is completely *d isn't it. How can you expect us to continue to pay for a supporting membership when the website barely functions as it shoul anymore.

Foreven Shipyards is proud to announce that in cooperation with Far Future Enterprises we are offering Traveller starships on Shapeways:

Foreven Shipyards is focusing on Adventure-class ships that are often used in the Traveller RPG. All are 1:1000 scale, so one meter of actual ship length corresponds to one millimeter on the model.

This is just the first wave of ships. We already have more in the works and they will be available in the coming months. We will have all the classic ships plus newer and more unusual designs.

"
It is safe to say that J. R. R. Tolkien is personally responsible for the enormous growth in the popularity of fantasy (once upon a time called legend and mythology). He set out to create for himself a world of new mythology, complete with its own languages. He succeeded better than anyone else has done since. It is also safe to say that the vast majority of fantasy worlds that have come along since the Middle-earth cycle are virtual ripoffs of Tolkien's original thinking. His own mythology partook heavily of the Scandinavian, Germanic and Celtic myths, reworked into a new mold of his own choosing. No one has done it better. That is why you will find orcs, hobbits, elves, dwarves and so forth resident in most if not all fantasy works (and gaming worlds) since The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings became well-read. Sometimes, the authors have the decency to at least rename the critters; but often they don't even bother to do that. You will find all of Tolkien's races by the same names in many, many sets of war-gaming and role-playing rules. So, I shall do likewise. But at least I do not place the Middle-earth races in anything other than their "original" setting. …"

There were 6 "kadetten" in regimental staff (Austrian infantry). They were "officers' sons selected by Hofkriegsrat.
The more competent were appointed as NCOs in companies."

Was the "kadetten" an equivalent to ensign ?

What role they played in the regimental staff if they were merely on the level of NCO ??

I'm jumping into the Pirate period and am looking for some sites that feature "pirate towns" or Spanish Main" buildings and terrain.
No lazar cut stuff….I'll make my own

I have Gary Chalks plans and have cut some foamcore out.
But what about huts or houses that the locals lived in?
Any examples of them would be helpful.

And finally what colors for the buildings?
Adobe white or that Spanish Main yellow?

Hello wargamers,
I have, like most of you, ton of napoleonic miniatures in 15mm.
My question is: where do you keep your armies when they are not in the fields of glory?
I use shirts boxes, but I'm searching new ideas.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Where do I keep my armies? In my sleevies!

(I'll get me coat…)

Thats one helluva bug. I clicked on a post regarding storage of armies and was taken on a tour of various sci-fi dioramas, Austrian army organization, several Tango posts, etc.

Where do I keep my armies? Everywhere. They're like an insect infestation. Oh. Boxes. Ideally, you want uniform-sized broad, flat containers whose lid lifts off or--better--is hinged. The specific ones depend on availability when I'm building the army and the size of the castings, but most of the 15mm live in Plano boxes or their clones, which fit three abreast in footlockers.

what is this, some sort of multithread pileup?

This is what we pay for????? Oh yes I forgot – those that do not pay get the same service.

UNBELIEVABLE!

Dorsenne; What did you do??

I like the Portable Warfare or Sabol Armytransport bags but, I use the blue/pink rigid bottomed… pluck foam trays.

What a disaster this page is.

I keep mine in Really Useful boxes mostly.
Think wargamers probably buy most 4l versions than anyone else.

Where do I keep my armies? In my sleevies!

Dang, beat me to it

+1 on really useful boxes. They stack really easily and securely

Flat Sterilite boxes with hinged lids and divided
interiors.

I use multi-depth boxes and magnetic paint

Up my sleevies – where else could I keep them ?

Wow 20thmaine how original….

Didn't read any of the thread did we?

Ouch.

Cardboard boxes with hinged lids preferably. You can find multiple sizes on line. They stack and minimize the dust if you don't use them for a while.

Mine live on wooden trays in a big shelf unit in my games room; nice to have them on display. Although actually I have so much stuff that at least half of it is away in cabinets and drawers, but I keep the prettiest stuff out on the open shelves for visitors to gawp at.

Cardboard boxes that once held A4 printer paper in the main, free and easily customizable

Wow 20thmaine how original….

Didn't read any of the thread did we?

Well, I can't speak for you but I definitely did – but posted anyway.

It really wasn't that original. The first version of that joke was found carved inside an Egyptian Old Kingdom Tomb…..but, then, the old ones are the best ones (or….they're Great Old Ones )

Bit like the geography joke, where are the Andes?

Great thread by the way – it has a bit of everything. At this rate we won'tneed loads of boards, just this one, ever-running all-inclusive thread

This is the thread that can be re-read from top to bottom each time!

There's always something new….

I was beginning o wonder why the message about storage seemed to have so few responses…….

Really Useful boxes but shop around. The price can double in some UK stores

Home Depot did a clearance on their Husky brand 8ish by 11ish plastic organizer boxes (pack of three for $5.00 USD) – I got three cases…

Use the deeper organizers for the elements requiring more lance or other head room.

A few of the taller elements currently reside in shoe boxes.

Hello does anyone know how to use swivel cannons with the Muskets and Tomahawks rules? I see they list it in the rules book but does not go into much detail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone have contact info for Orv Banasik from Iowa.
Old timers will remember Orv from MWAN days. I'm hoping that someone may have an email for him.

Hal Thinglum and I were discussing Orv and I would really love to contact him.

Any help?

My, the bug is going full force on this one.

In any event, best of luck in finding Mr Banasik – I have fond memories of his articles from MWAN back in the day.

WOW, this is like a great dish of stew!!!

Yes All I wanted was an update on Orv and got all of this !!!

I feel like The Bug just evolved a step, and much worse things are on the way.

Let me add that I always supported and spoke well of The Bug, and therefore am deserving of its mercy.

Just to let everyone know that if you are waiting for something from me, I am in 'catch up' mode after some of the usual sort of distractions.

Also, it looks like the infamous 'm' bug has been dealt with. I wouldn't say it is fixed yet, but at least it doesn't mess up the homepage as it used to.

I pray for the killing of this "BUG CATCHER"…

New idea – one stop shop for all posts, saves clicking on several links, 1 click gets everything. Genius!

I particularly like the way the title of this thread is something different every time I look!

Waco Joe, I'm interested in the magnetic paint. Never heard of it before. Is it easy to use? Strong enough to keep steel bases in place? Does it wear off? Thanks! Lloyd

This is the thread that can be re-read from top to bottom each time!

able was I ere I saw Elba….?
Sorry…thatīs not top to bottom but from left to right. Mind you..I suppose it depends on how one is sitting or wether the Monitor is tipped or not.

I am so glad the Bug is dead. Can you imagine how bad this would be if the Bug were still active?

This is a crazy thread!
