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

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

The image of the the 18th Light Cavalry Brigade has been updated to include the Polish 4th Uhlans ... albeit still without their lance pennons.

Take a look on the Napoleonic Polish Army Inspection page.

11 February 2024

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!!  🤣

The Links page expands yet again. A link added for mogsymakes, a web presence of James Morris. Over and out.

15 March 2024

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

You're welcome.

7 September 2024

The links and information for Front Rank Figurines on the Links page has been updated. As has been the case for a while now these figures are to be sourced from Gripping Beast. The original Front Rank Figurines site is now well and truly a thing of the past.
