Today I heard that Gerrit Postma, Gungnir on the Wargames Directory Forums, passed away.
Gerrit was a wargamer, a writer, a jack-of-all trades and a great guy, who I will miss.

So.. I scratchbuild a tent. It’s too big so the next one will be smaller for my #dba camp. And 3 high ranking officers for my 1799 Anglo-Russian invasion force. These are Foundry AWI figs, but usable for 1799.

In 1799 the #Batavian Republic was attacked by a Russian-English invasion force in Holland but also by a Orangist Army from the East. The National Guard at Arnhem shot them to pieces.
