The duck pond is the ultimate spa retreat. The mallard’s clearly the local aristocrat—lord of the lily pad—while the ducklings are just trying to figure out if breadcrumbs count as currency. Somewhere offscreen, a frog is bitterly muttering, “Used to be my pond… until the quacks moved in.” 🦆💦

Italian Wars - Borgia Condottiere Squadrons. The Borgia playbook: 1. Hire Italy’s deadliest condottieri. 2. Let them conquer your enemies. 3. Invite them to a feast. 4. Smile. 5. Kill them all. Cesare didn’t just win wars. He rewrote the rules. #Borgia #Condottieri #MachiavelliWasWatching

Italian Wars - Swiss Pikemen. The Swiss didn’t invent the pike square to be polite. They invented it to ruin cavalry charges, French ambitions, and anyone’s day who thought “I’ll just run at them.” At Marignano, they fought so hard the battlefield asked for a break.

Italian Wars - Landsknecht Pikemen in the service of King Ferdinand of Spain, march to the aid of Pope Alexander VI following the formation of the League of Venice.

Caesar’s Civil Wars - Pompey’s Legio III Command Tent. Cracking 28mm Romans from Aventine Miniatures, plus a bloke from Warlord Games who appears to be very theatrical in his mannerisms.

The Prussian Invasion of Wales 1870- Field Marshal Otto von Bismarck proudly displays his new toy of war. A Sharp Practice Steampunk Adventure in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, coming to a screen near you shortly. Welsh reporter Huw Pugh states, “the sausage munchers are after our coal see, and our slag heaps”

Our game today was true to history, with the battle being one of the bloodiest ever fought in the British Isles. The Jacobite defeat at Aughrim meant the effective end of James's cause in Ireland. The Dutch allies lived up to their reputation and swept all away on the Williamite right flank.

The Battle of Aughrim (12th July, 1691). The decisive battle of the Williamite War in Ireland. It was fought between the largely Irish Jacobite army loyal to James II and the forces of William III. I’m a guess today at my old friend Danny’s house in Cheltenham. Enemy territory 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The cyberattack had been surgical—targeting Estonia’s power grid and comms infrastructure. Though no lives were lost, the blackout sent ripples through NATO command.
