The NBA oddly chose a map of France that corresponds to the old Capetian realm. Why does the NBA reject French annexation of Burgundy? Are they disputing the outcome of the Battle of Nancy? Will the NBA pledge loyalty to the Valois dukes?

@Havoc_Six @TransRightsMFer @smthrndm1 @bad_rzn Just in case anyone casts up the "Afghanistan gotcha": It ended around 2 decades of direct involvement with anywhere between 14-25% fewer coalition casualties than the USSR suffered in 1 decade.

@DJMusgrove Thank you so much Dave! Genuinely thrilled to be doing history again (especially Norman history). Whether the result's any good will have to be seen lol.

[Josh Baker-Cox @JoshBakerCox]

So terrifying news: I am going to be doing a PhD

Rebellion and Reprisals in 11th and 12th century England, Normandy and Flanders here we come!

Genuinely can't describe how grateful I am to the people who helped this happen.

Image does not represent my methodology I swear

@LeonieVHicks Annnnnd now I have to try and be patient until December! Going to be a long 3 months.

@LeonieVHicks The trouble with following historians is theres a strange correlation between a decrease in money and an increase in books I own.

I'll always maintain that Ludlow is one if my favourite castles, and I will fight people who disagree.

Had a rather nice day poking around Richard's Castle and the church there, before ending at Ludlow. My picture definitely can't do it justice.

It's got to the point where I really want @_Tom_Henderson_ to do like a deep dive into how Total War Warhammer 3 launched in such a bad state, and why a year and a half on it's being updated by one bloke in a cupboard under the stairs at the main studio.
