At Havoc I picked up a package of Renedra tents in 15mm from the Hobby Bunker stall. They’re perfect for my Seaward March, one day American Civil War, campaign that I am running on the 31st. Cort owns a lot of 15mm ACW figures and terrain. But, it’d be nice to have some tents in the event that they’re needed.
Below are pictures of the tents as they got painted.
Host Jonathan J. Reinhart unleashes this episode with an apology for his noisy rabbits. The show includes a review of the next installment of the Jack Steel novels, a review of Hexographer the map-making program, an introduction to the Dedhampton Revolution, a chat about running a 1 Day Campaign, and a reminder about our Podcast Promo Contest.
Jonathan discusses several history oriented books and reviews the next installment of the Jack Steel series. The series is set in the Wars of Spanish Succession and revolves around the forces under the command of Lord Malborough (Prime Minister Churchill’s ancestor).
The show progresses with a review of the Hexographer map-making program by Inkwell Ideas.
Governor Jacob Ralf Reisen, cousin to His Majesty Felix Drake Reisen, announced a new imperial decree that requires all colonies to triple their exports to the homeland.
After a series of wars with neighboring countries, the imperial coffers are diminished. It is hoped that the swell of exports will replenish the treasury.
Ezekiel Hosmer, president of New Dedhampton’s Ruby Guild, remarked “we’re already sending as many of the rubies we mine as we can. It is not possible to get blood from a stone. What more can we do?”
The imperial decree was posted at the city halls in neighboring Nateekingham and Glouland, on the frontier, by their respective governors. The citizens in those colonies also expressed their displeasure.
Samuel Glou, a leading Glouland merchant, said “Out here on the frontier we’re left on our own to defend against the savages. Last week an attack on one of the silver mines caused operations to stop for a week.”

This is a brief posting to introduce the House of Reisen. They rule Dedhampton and her colonies. His Majesty King Felix Drake Reisen has subjects on both sides of Bradford Ocean. His sons princes Wilf Gregg Reisen and Peers Justinian Reisen serve in His Majesty’s armed forces. Prince Wilf commands one of Dedhampton’s fighting ships while his younger brother Prince Peers serves in a dragoon regiment.
The makers of Hexographer also have a great coat of arms creator. Coat of Arms Design Studio allows you to customize a coat of arms in numerous ways. I used the free version of the program to create King Felix’s coat of arms.
