Continuing this limited series of places that I
haven't actually visited, yet
Mademoiselle has, with her Uni chums - and then sent pics to wind me up, we present
Strasbourg in all its glory.
So, I asked her to find me a snow-globe commemorating Louis XIV's annexation of the city in 1681 - its apparent independence somewhat circumspect as Holy Roman Empire forces used it as an avenue for reinforcement to the east; Strasbourg endangered Louis's newly annexed territories in Alsace, just as the great fortress of Luxembourg dominated the other regions Louis had annexed from the Spanish Netherlands.
You think that'd be easy to find, I know right!
Come on
Straz...get with the programme guys! I need a 'Louie Fourteen Does Annexing' Snow Globe!!! (preferably with Louis on skis hurtling down a mountain slope with a Matchlock and one of his mistresses...I mean, how hard can it be to find that?)

This is the 38th Post this year! 38 Posts! How the heck did I do that. Granted there have been some 'duc on the road' things and movie video links, but this is a new record for actually having done very little gaming - mind you, the Ponyri campaign has really got the numbers up - thanks again Steve-o .
I might even make 40 before the year is out ...it has been a very weird year...
