Well, a two-year journey, fraught with serious issues relating to health and hardware, is finally at and end. Tomorrow, after going over final edits, I submit my thesis and I should be graduating with an M.A. in Military History, this June.
Egads, my bad luck continually hit me, again and again, including finding out that I am diabetic, among my other health issues, and that life was a lot easier when I did not have to constantly worry about whether or not my internet connection would work on an almost hourly basis.
So, once this thesis is accepted, barring any feedback that must be addressed, I am finished with the program requirements, aside from a week's visit immediately prior to the graduation ceremony.
I was able to delve into some areas of military history that I'd previously not had much interest, including the Mongol conquest of western Asia, and the subsequent Muslim victories.
However my passion for the military history of Europe circa 1618-1815 was in no way diminished, quite the contrary. In the midst of my studies and travails, I decided to pretty much forego historical wargaming almost entirely, but instead forge ahead with my imagi-nation ideas, branching them out far beyond what I had originally envisioned.
Here's a hint...
Sadly, these are not mine, as they are beautiful, but they do provide a clue with some of what I am working, or soon will be working, on.
For those that might need it, or enjoy it, here's another hint...
I just wish Front Rank made 28mm SYW Saxons, so there'd be more choice, but I can make do with Eureka's offerings.
Until next time...
Good to hear Justin. I hope we see some painted figures soon?
ReplyDeleteIn a couple of weeks, or less, most likely. I am still "moving in" after seven months and much of my hobby supplies, including paint brushes, glue, files, etc., are still in boxes. I've shelving units to assemble and then I should be able to unpack.
