While preparing my
last post I realised that with the slow pace of progress around here, I needed
to go back and check my own map in order figure out where things ought to lie
after last week’s battle and how they ought to progress. If I needed a refresher, I can only imagine
that the Interested Reader had to do some studying as well. So, I am going posting here a couple of maps
that should illustrate the flow of events across Syldavia’s obscure
landscape. Above is a map showing movements of the start of the spring campaign, namely the Bordurian raids on bridgeheads controlling access to King Ivan's winter base at Klow. The map below shows King Ivan's movements in response to these raids leading, finally, to the encounter in the Zileheroum Marshes.
Welcome to Despatches From Syldavia! Will you join me for a Plate of Szlaszeck and a Glass of Szprädj? This blog relates the infamous history and dubious future goings-on of my own Imagi-nations wargames campaign involving an un-historical milieu of fictitious mid 18 th century nations set in southeastern Europe. I’ll keep the blog updated with reports when I have made progress in my project and when I have something (one hopes) moderately interesting to say. Life is quite busy, however, so I am afraid that my postings will probably come at an irregular pace. My project represents my return to the wargaming world after several years of inactivity, during which time I finished my PhD, landed a real job, got married and started a family. Now, with all that done (or is it because sleep is in short supply?), the desire to start painting and gaming projects came back to life. I started to build a SYW army and while doing some research on the WWW, I accidentally stumbled upon E
An interesting map well annotated.

Great detail! I'm tempted by the idea of doing something similar, but set in the 1930s, closer to the events of 'King Ottokar's Sceptre'.
