Glad to make it to Partizan today, after lots of distractions from Wargaming in recent months. There’s nothing quite like this show to get one’s juices flowing. We’ll start with @mogsymakes and chums and their awesome Battle of Mount Badon.
A fun Sunday recreating St Albans II #WarsoftheRoses using the excellent #Midgard rules hosted by Tom WD and @mogsymakes. Lancastrians won in a topsy turvy thriller which hinged on a key central combat.
Messing about with AI a lot recently with no particular goal/task. Just trying to understand how it works and what it can/cannot do, to see what the implications might be - good and bad. I worked on asking it to create an image of a 15th century English valley. Thoughts?
Richard, Duke of York (Father of Richard III) 1411–1460
By claiming the throne he arguably ignited the Wars of the Roses (though his claim was strong). Opposing Lancastrian Henry VI, briefly served as Lord Protector, died at the Battle of Wakefield.

Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury 1400–1460, Yorkist stalwart, executed following the Battle of Wakefield. Father to Warwick the Kingmaker.
Perry miniatures 28mm metal. The heraldry was a pain but worth it!
@yarkshiregamer I did spot you! But you were busy chatting away and we were not there for long. I’ve been out of the game for months 😩 hoping yesterday helps. Your game looked fabulous!
I did get to #Partizan in search of some inspiration. It worked! First of all few 📸
Bloody Omaha DDay game by Charles Rowntree. Beautiful and very playable.
@Olitics_@NoContextBrits He should really wear one. But if the car cared about safety he wouldn’t need to. In any collision car v bike at 30mph, his fault or not, he’s something like 95 per cent more likely to die than the car driver.
@TK_1992@NoContextBrits If you look at lots of bike lanes in cities, they are usually only in limited directions and distances, so are largely useless for commuting. Also cities almost always create bike lanes also reserved for buses - the largest vehicle most likely to kill us in a collision.
