Lots of stand-ins, but it’s time for a new test for our #ClogLard scenario. As usual impossible to do without the help of @sabotag3d.bsky.social and @tabletopstudios.bsky.social #spreadthelard #wargaming

I got introduced to Here's The Ruckus yesterday. My small French retinue losing two leaders in quick succession settled the issue. Happy to try again (especially with these lovely painted Perry and Athena minis)

Ook dit kabinet wil demonstranten harder aanpakken. Experts noemen plannen illegaal en symbolisch Demonstranten die zich misdragen moeten harder worden gestraft, staat in het regeerakkoord. Daarnaast liggen er twee wetsvoorstellen op de plank die demonstranten criminaliseren. De voorstellen zijn ...

Het kabinet wil regels rond protesteren aanscherpen en demonstranten die zich misdragen harder aanpakken. Maar is dit wel echt nodig? Deskundigen plaatsen er grote vraagtekens bij, en volgens onderzoek zijn demonstraties helemaal geen groeiend probleem. Wat zit er achter deze plannen?

Menu diner bezoek koningin-regentes Emma en koningin Wilhelmina  aan de provincie Gelderland in 1897. Het menu verscheen in een franstalige Nederlandse courant.

Mijn laatste draadje hier vandaag. Ik ga jullie wat menu's voorschotelen. Er zijn prachtige sites waar je kunt neuzen, zoals in Dijon: patrimoine.bm-dijon.fr/pleade/ead.h... Vaak zitten ze verscholen in familiearchieven. Dan moet je zelf gaan neuzen. Delpher kranten is ook een goede bron. >2

People at my club have been playing it for 1:1 games and multiplayer. I'm not sure they've tried the expansions

I also didn't mean to suggest that the contemporary Royal Navy was a paragon of meritocracy. My impression is that there is a century long process of slow and uneven change in most European armies and navies where old practices are pretty durable

Thanks for that nuance. It may have appeared that I meant to imply that the French army of Napoleon was as corrupt as Ancien Regime armies. It probably was still much more meritocratic, but I wanted to point out that Napoleon was not the one who should take credit for that 1/2

Of course, that wasn't Napoleon's idea, but he profited from the policy. Also, historians of Napoleon's army noted that under his leadership, systems of patronage made a comeback

Very pleased to receive author’s copies of Offa, King of the Mercians from @yalebooks.bsky.social today. Looking superb, and an excellent publishing experience!

Or does she mean that you have established a monopoly on research into massacres? And that it blocks/discourages other researchers to enter the field? It is inviting to be flippant about this, but the subject doesn't feel right for 'cornering the market'

You can see the difference between Colin Powell and this con artist. Even Tony Blair tried harder

This new(ish) book is fascinating. It’s about the search for the identity of a soldier who melted out of the Popera Glacier in 1983. He was killed in one of the avalanches that overwhelmed the Italians on November 9, 1916. You can read about these extraordinary events, in English, in #TiTM.

Boots on the table is exacty the kind of warfare that suits Pete Hegseth. None of that woke 'leave your footwear by the door' stuff. Absolute lethality, all the time!

Writing yet another Churchill biography is exactly what AI is made for. No waste of human time, and probably no worse than most

That was a close call. But this should help you to remind that you shouldn't put money on SA when it counts
