Actually, Panzer Ace said they don’t mix and they don’t. I had some Gunn Viet Minh which I tried to use with FL VC as background and it just didn’t work. I eventually sold the TG figures.

Thanks Mike.

I’ve never participated in this. How does it work?

I’ll bet he got an earful.

Some that piqued my interest: Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution — Kathleen Du Val Oxford Handbook of the American Revolution — Jane Kamensky Ideological Origins of the American Revolution — Bernard Bailyn British are Coming — Atkinson These will have to wait...

The reference to “you” was not specifically you Chris but the the more general you. Nonetheless, I should have been more careful in my writing. I’m not a NR reader but found the article you mentioned. NR is not my tempo. I take no position on the Six Nations Conference and the supposed link...

He was a little too folksy for my tastes.

The article you mention is in the National Review, https://www.nationalreview.com/2025/11/no-ken-burns-the-united-states-is-not-an-iroquois-nation/ The one thing to remember about Burns is he’s a storyteller, not a historian. His programs should be a point of departure for further learning, not...

I have several and they don’t. You can’t use them together. I have several FL figures and purchased a couple of K & C ones but sold the K & C ones. On the other hand K & C has more variety and quantity in its Vietnam figures so there are pluses and minuses to both. The TG Viet Minh don’t go...

Up for air.

If you have Amazon Prime you can watch it at your leisure. I think you need to subscribe to PBS Docs on Prime, which I find to be worth it. I’ve been watching the West series that way.

For me, it’s a bit different. Whenever a new historian I look up their books and save them to my Amazon lists for possible future purchases.

In the winter of 1779-1780 Washington’s army wintered at Jockey Hollow (near Morristown, NJ), which is only 15 minutes from where I live. It’s a nice national park and you can see some of the houses the troops stayed in. Wonder if it will be mentioned in tonight’s episode.

The 1619 Project is not historically sound and many experts have pointed out its deficiencies so I would never give credence to anything it says.

I don’t see it that way at all. The focus is on the battles, especially last night. One thing I liked about is the discussion about the loyalists and those who wanted nothing to do with the War like the Quakers. Most people probably believe that the colonies were united in getting rid of the...

I think those stories about slavery and the role of slavery in the War are important ones to tell and glad Burns is doing that.

I’m starting to find the series a little tedious because there is only so much you can do in the absence of photos with re-enactments, paintings, drawings and computer generated battle re-enactments. Moreover, the narration sounds like a book. Personally, I found the origins of the war and the...

Atkinson’s WW II books are outstanding.

I’m continuing in my downsizing efforts and have the following figures for sale. If interested, please send me a pm. All come with boxes. Israeli Defence Force IDF 001 Moshe Dayan IDF 005 Para Rifleman Advancing IDF 006 Radio Operator IDF 008 Para Kneeling Ready IDF 009 Lying...
