League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

It's been a week of putting together a lot of bits and bobs as well as waiting for some LBMS transfers to arrive, which they did, but are now sitting patiently in my "quarantine" pile

I managed to get a couple of Disorder/Discouraged/Routing/Casualty Markers painted, glossed and matted down along with a few Command Stands but only the Frankish Command Case is 100% complete.

There are are the usual extra pics from differing angles etc and mutterings on my blog if you would like to look:

It’s certainly very quiet these days but it could be that more people like me are now using Facebook?
I can post photos and comments to specific sites and I get a much better response than I ever did from my blog.

Two, I think, sad phenomena. Blogs were great for a kind of internal and external discussion about ones hobby. The various fora were/are a brilliant quorum for the gathering of like minded folk and the discussion of ideas.

I've had some very funny moments on Facebook such as where I've asked a specific question only to receive 76 likes and no answer I can only assume a lot of people liked my question Just weird.

Bring back Yahoo Groups!

The flag is not painted by yourself, yes?

I don't use Facebook. Never will.

Explanation by quoting an Austrian Comedian:

Facebook is to become spied on a voluntary Basis.

Yeah, it's an LBMS transfer. I'm currently painting up three armies; Anglo Danes, Franks and Early Byzantines. Due to time constraints I opted to hand paint the banners on one army only and stick to LBMS transfers for the rest. I simply don't have the time to do the research and to paint up the banners for all three armies- see image below for hand painted banner.

Yeah, I know what you mean and agree. Havinf said that, when you take into account the fact that that no matter what website one uses, a large amount of data is 'stolen' from us with every click; I don't think it makes all that much difference in the grand scheme of things. My main issue with the drift over to FB is simple, it is almost impossible to have a conversation with any degree of nuance. In other words, it is practically impossible to communicate efficiently.
