Just perfectly summing up my opinion on game balance, rules, and really all TTRPG advice. Not only is the man a mini painting wizard, he understands RPGs!

Was wary of going with the reinforcement phase instead of exploration/quartermaster but WOW that was the least "feels bad" that an "oops, start a new warband" (essentially) post-game phase has ever felt.

Nicely done, y'all

Vasily Vereshchagin, b. 1842
The Apotheosis of War , 1871
Oil on Canvas.

Apotheosis depicts a pile of human skulls set on the barren earth, the aftermath of a battle or siege. A flock of carrion birds are seen to be occupied with picking over the pile; some birds have already landed, while others are flying in or roosting in nearby trees. The ground below them is a sallow, earthy yellow covered with grass, complementing the dirty ivory color of the partially-bleached skulls. The shadow cast by the mound, coupled with the many black orifices created by empty jaws and eye-sockets, adds a sense of depth to the painting, further exacerbating the scale of the deathly pile.

A range of mountains serves as a dividing line for the painting, separating the vastness of the steppes from the emptiness of the sky, while the city of Samarkand can be seen in the far right of the painting. The city's walls have visibly been breached, a reference to the Siege of Samarkand in the summer of 1868 in which the Russian garrison repulsed a Bukharid attack. On the work's frame, Vereshchagin inscribed that he dedicated the painting "to all great conquerors, past, present and to come".

Inscribed on the painting's frame is: "To all great conquerors, past, present and to come."

The Minister of War of the Austrian Empire ordered that his soldiers be barred from viewing this painting, and banned its reproduction.
