Epidemics and the American Military Five Times Disease Changed the Course of War Jack E. McCallum Book cover

One for the half-wit in the Pentagon.

(I think it's a must read for anyone interested in military history BTW.)

Twee redenen waarom het vertrouwen in de politiek al jarenlang laag is:
(1) Het lukt de nationale politiek al jarenlang niet om grote problemen aan te pakken waar burgers zich zorgen om maken (als wonen, stikstof, migratie).
(2) Haagse politici zijn te veel bezig met onderlinge ruzies en spelletjes.

I'll be following your experiments closely ;-)

Thanks! I'll have a look. Not going to match your excellent paint job, but it is very enticing. What rules do you use?

Wow, just wow! Have you written down somewhere what miniatures you are using?

En als je oudere medewerkers neerzet als nutteloos, achtergebleven of risico, en bedrijven weigeren 50 plussers aan te nemen. En tegelijkertijd de mantelzorg voor ouders zijn piek bereikt

A scene from the Kabuki play ‘Zen’aku Ryoumen Konotegashiwa’. Konotegashiwa (Platycladus orientalis) is a type of Chinese hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa); whilst the underside of hinoki leaves is usually white, this variety is green on both sides. Hence, the title is as you have translated it.

I looked at the other subthread where he said the buildings were 6mm.

Ah smart. Use building one step smaller than the miniatures

10mm Napoleonics?

If men define situations as real,
they are real in their consequences

Talk about a miraculous resurrection!

Miniature painters: I need to drill a very small gun barrel, for which I don't have a small enough pin vice bit.

Any alternatives I can use to make a hole in there?

What really happened on Britain's last Battlefield | Tony Pollard YouTube video by The Wars Beneath Our Feet

It’s been a long day but not as long as it was in 1746. If you enjoyed today’s video or haven’t watched it, here’s the 3 mins with a vital takeaway. Please like, subscribe & comment on the YouTube page so we can do more of this. youtube.com/shorts/PjfdA...

18th-century handwriting "I indulged carnal pleasure. O Beast! is yt ? crucifying ye Flesh"

I also spent some time with the diary of 18yo Joseph Sewall (1688-1769), son of Samuel Sewall and future pastor of Old South Church.
