Latest Updates
I am happily afflicted with that mysterious hobby of wargaming. This site is a reflection of that affliction. Have a look around and enjoy ... and perhaps even be a little inspired. There sure are worse ways to spend your leisure time. And I’m hardly biased at all!
The main areas available for your investigational pleasure are immediately available courtesy of a mere "click" at the top of the screen. They are ... drum roll please ...
Home: here be there
Army Inspections: some thoughts, information and images of my assorted miniature armies and figures
Dawn Parades: occasional reviews
Military Obstacles: an area to flaunt my terrain pieces
Post-mortems: glorious and otherwise game memoires
Reconnaissance: various items of potential interest including wargames shows and places of interest
The son & heirs: random reportage on The son & heirs modelling adventures
Links: favoured sites
And then there is one very important link not (currently?!) available at the top of each screen. Orders of the Day is my longish running Blog. Being a Blog it will normally be updated more often as a news and chatty locale. Conversely it is intended that this site will be used as an orderly quasi archive. Updates to this site that are considered significant - whatever that means! - will be notified on the Orders of the Day Blog. We shall see how this all works out in practice.
This website of von Peter himself is in continual expansion ... or at least it is meant to be!
Please visit the blog of von Peter himself - Orders of the Day - for day to day shenanigans

They can be reviewed on the Napoleonic Polish Army Inspection page.

The threatened enhancements to the Links page have come to pass.
Some sections have been moved around and two new sections added ...
1. Video channels / YouTubes
2. Book selling establishments.
The new sections have a few initial entries with the Video channels / YouTubes in particular likely to grow over time

Steve Shann's blog Nations In Arms has made an appearance the Links page.
I've downloaded an update to the EverWeb software that drives this site so a small update is good as a trial. Not normally an issue but best to be on the safe side.
I am considering adding a new section to the Links page for YouTube and the likes so that you too can waste your life away staring at a screen. You're welcome!! 🤣

L 'Hotel de Hercé has a new website address so it seemed appropriate to update the link in the Links page.
You're welcome.
