Interesting. Internecine squabbles between monasteries over a religious relic or two. Meanwhile the nuns operate as spoilers working on their own nefarious schemes - the demise of the overbearing, self righteous (and sexually demanding & deviant! 😱) monks. Interesting. Very interesting.

Nice monkery. You surely must have more monks, priests, nuns etc figures than some have in their Napoleonic armies! Surely this is a madness! Albeit a madness of a most pleasurable and viewable flavour. πŸ€“

The third Landwehr battalion available to von Peter himself. The 2 battalion of the 4th East Prussian Landwehr Infantry Regiment. The fourth battalion languishes in the "to be pigmented" pile.

With the caveat that I am not by any stretch of the imagination a stunningly successful commander ... charging a line with a column without 1st discomforting said line with skirmishers, artillery, musketry first is a dicey proposition in many rules unless the column has a preponderance in numbers.😬

A unit to be proud of.

And ... hey, I have one of those. An 1813 version after careful watering, feeding and nurturing in the sunshine! 🀣

There would appear to be unexpectedly large numbers of janissaries aboard the Spanish flagged ship. Are they the Spanish Inquisition under cover? Or this an early version of Black Ops?

"Just for @lordraglan.bsky.social and those with concerns for dizzy figures"

πŸ€” I resemble those dizzy remarks! πŸ˜‡

FYI, I obtained a similar turntable contraption undercover as a birthday present to myself. I'm yet to use it in a public fashion however.

Nice. Is the vessel to be named "Shippee McShipface"? Though one would need to be a little careful with pronunciation!

Thank you mammamattsson. Unfortunately the photo's not the sharpest. I blame the camera and the cropping undertaken. Not the operator. Not at all!! 😬
