A brief intermission.

The best laid plans oft go awry. When I began the imaginations of Hetzenberg and Dunkeldorf-Pfuhl in the fall of 2007 I little dreamed of what lay ahead. My plan was to develop two small armies of a brigade (4 or so regiments) apiece with attached cavalry and artillery, all in 28-30mm, and record their battles here. Circumstances have altered my life to such a degree I can't continue the project for some months at least. Impending marriage and emigration tend to take priority, even over wargaming!

As my fictional account of events in my corner of Urope seems to be so popular, what I propose is to novelize the enmity between the Grand Duchy and the Margravate. Using methods suggested by Tony Bath in his seminal work "Setting up a wargames campaign" to create battles and encounters, I can continue to wargame, at least in an abstract fashion. The results will be dramatized and published here. Eventually, when I'm more settled, I'll resume the build-up of the actual armies. Any ideas, suggestions and comments are welcome.
