I too have a similar routine here, and two of the first things I check at 6am, five mornings a week, are your Flanderkin Serjeant blog and the Blasthof blog. Both are right up my alley with regards to intent, figures, painting style, and battles.<br /><br />One thing where the Blasthof Blog is concerned, and I don't know whether others have run into this difficulty too, but it is impossible to post comments. Every time I have tried in the last two weeks, my comment disappears when I click on "post". I notice that there are comments from other readers there, so perhaps it's just me. But I thought I'd mention it to you.<br /><br />Keep up the inspiring posts for each! I'm especially interested to see how your Garde Jaegers turn out. I've toyed with the idea for a long time of departing a bit from 18th century uniforms and drafting a few select Napoleonic figures into my own forces, in much the same way as you and Phil are doing currently.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-46292706968937134102009-11-13T07:04:12.655-08:002009-11-13T07:04:12.655-08:00"I thought we agreed you wouldn;t do that any..."I thought we agreed you wouldn;t do that anymore", when put through my Babel Fish on-line Translator, comes out as "I thought I told you not to do that anymore".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-41145996808709075852009-11-12T11:27:05.696-08:002009-11-12T11:27:05.696-08:00What a distinguished looking officer ! , nice conv...What a distinguished looking officer ! , nice conversionMosstrooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744308664219116701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-12828337260942714732009-11-12T04:51:17.663-08:002009-11-12T04:51:17.663-08:00Good looking officer.

This chunk kind of went back and forth like a door. It was bad and bloody enough for me to go next door to inquire of the neighbor lady who happened to be a nurse. She calmly said something to the effect of no big deal. She was correct though I was convinced the chunk of fingertip would eventually and ghoulishly fall off. Nope. Just a raised bump is all there is30+ years later and there is still feeling in the nerves! <br />---<br />These days the blade seems to go more or less straight in like a rapier thrust. One must carry on with these bloody messes. Why? "Because we're here lad."<br />---<br />BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385210602449395922.post-70438685395799220172009-11-10T17:47:58.522-08:002009-11-10T17:47:58.522-08:00Laughing in sympathy.
