Ordnance Finished

 The artillery and mortar pieces done and I'm hardcore editing the new book.

Not much to report, otherwise. Doing a project like this solo is a lot of fun...and a lot of work. No matter what, it always takes me longer than I think it will, so, anymore, I just have more of an 'it's done when it's done' attitude.

Schachspielfiguren zum Spielen

"Schachspiel Figuren" 

So this is all 212 pieces required painted. Not a single king piece in sight, though. Now working on the ordnance and other bits and boards. Printing proofs soon as well. Going a little slower than I anticipated, but I really hope to have everything pretty much some sort of done by...early October? hope that isn't too optimistic because I've been ADHDing really hard lately.

'Versuch' Project Progress

"...Auftritte des kriegs sinnlich zu machen."

A phrase that's difficult to render in contemporary English because it's neither contemporary nor English.
We're making progress, though. The text is being cleaned up, the tables and charts are coming along and the demonstration game setup is slowly but surely taking shape.

"Die Kavallerie und Infanterietruppen von Spieler A."

 "Die Kavallerie und Infanterietruppen von Spieler A."

 Shown here are all the cavalry and infantry troop figures for one side of a two player game. Not pictured are the artillery and other equipment pieces each player also needs. Eventually, all of one side's pieces will be red and the other player's pieces will be ivory or whitish.
