The date on this ...Thanks for the feedback Abdul. <br /><br />The date on this set many decades after the actual story line to come. As the story line unfolds, we shall step back in time and examine the past events that create this alternate 'future' that we can see here.<br /><br />Thats the excuse I am using anyway, since I only have Napoleonic figures to showcase some of the new terrain features with :)<br /><br />I have completed a few different scenic features so far - and Im really happy with the way they are turning out. Id love to show them all off now ... but they need to be introduced into the story line at the correct pace. So I need to wait around a bit longer for that.<br /><br />My French language skills, as you can see, are poor to non-existent. What would be the correct naming then of the people and regiments involved here ? If you can provide some examples I will use that for naming Gallic personages in this story from here on.<br /><br />ie - the fictional 'Grenadiers of Liberty" - should that be "Grenadiers de la Liberté" ? Im doing the anglo thing here and assuming that d' is merely an abbreviation, such as is over-used in the English language.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833908552095803861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354124262889962219.post-1337684179595093582011-10-24T18:43:48.188+10:302011-10-24T18:43:48.188+10:30Why to put this very 'Pulpy' Horror tale s...Why to put this very 'Pulpy' Horror tale so late in the 18th C.? It could (still can, using 'Edit posts'!) be pushed back in time some 25 - 30 years and be part of the 'unfolding tapestry' of your 'weird SYW'. Too good not to be included in the 'main epic saga'!abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354124262889962219.post-74744817048628285192011-10-24T18:18:43.482+10:302011-10-24T18:18:43.482+10:30A *tremendous* creepy piece of 'living' sc...A *tremendous* creepy piece of 'living' scenery -disturbing, threatening, potentially hideous in an implicit way in the 'good' sense. And a rich, enthralling tale: can't wait for the next part!<br /><br />Btw don't be worried by the 'Napoleonic' Grenadiers: they are 'Old Guard', still wearing the long coat of Revolutionary times, fitting for the late 18th C. -as an elite unit they could have be granted an 'ultra-modern' uniform. <br />And, anyway, fashion seems more 'free' in your 'alternate' 18th C. than in 'ours': Le Comte d'la Bouvoir <i>["de la Bouvoir" in 'Real World™' French: our "d'" precedes a vowel; same for 'de la Liberté'. All English-speaking creators of Imagi-Nary 'Gallian' names have difficulties with this, re. Bill Protz' Campaign in Germania, Frankfurter... Then, in such 'alternate' Europe, French can well have different rules! :)]</i> is a conservative type, dressed in a fashion obsolete for almost a century in 'our time line'. No problem with that.<br /><br />Also, 'here' Madame Guillotine (aka <i>La Veuve</i>, 'The Widow') was not yet used when Noble Counts were still in power: but perfectly possible in a 'parallel universe', since it was a 'progressive' invention aiming to make the 'ultimate penalty' more 'human', sure and instantaneous, while the ax- or sword-wielding executioner had more often than not to strike several times (this 'cruel' aspect of decapitation was a matter of public debate in France since the bloody lengthy mess of the execution of <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:D%C3%A9capitation_de_Lally-Tollendal_en_1766_01.jpg" rel="nofollow">Lally-Tollendal</a> in 1766).<br /><br />Looking eagerly forward to enjoy the next instalment!<br /><br />P.S.: according to the flag, your 'Napoleonics' also seem to belong to an 'alternate' History?abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.com
