Then the French have a great whacking Revolution, which like all revolutions ends in a dictatorship. The repercussions from this revolution, both socially and politically, take anywhere from 60 to 80 or so years to shake out, depending on where you are. <br /><br />Questions?Christian Knudsennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-62668901163464881552011-01-31T14:14:20.078-08:002011-01-31T14:14:20.078-08:00Thanks everyone.
The comment about shock and sur...Thanks everyone. <br /><br />The comment about shock and surprise about me taking up another period, expecially this one, was more for the people who've personally known me a loooong, as I've always vehemently said I'd never (NEVER!) get into napoleonics. Mostly because, well, probably the first nappy players I ever met were... well... utter cocks. They generally shared the attitude that naps were the high watermark of miniature wargaming - something only the most mature and distinguished (or maybe just "oldest") gamers could attain and all that "other stuff" was "kid's stuff" or something to that effect. The complete snobbery and disdain for all other periods just completely turned me right off... <br /><br />Since then, of course, I've discovered there are actually people that game the period that... well... aren't cocks about it. My reluctance in more recent years has been more due to the fact that I am simply involved in waaaaaaaaaay too many periods already and I just didn't need another - especially an other with SO MUCH variety and colour and options - to FURTHER distract me. <br /><br />Consider me somewhat further distracted.... <br /><br />Also the whole late 18th/early 19th century is a large black hole in my understanding of history. Never really learned that much about it... (due to in large part to aforementioned snobby gamers and the general disinterest in the whole era they engendered in me...). I picked up a few books recently to rectify this deficiency.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-64364685229732708192011-01-31T13:53:01.095-08:002011-01-31T13:53:01.095-08:00Very nice as usual.
