Just a quick Alternative Universe question: Are things in the AU Oath eligible as a regular monthly oath? For example, if I AU Oath an entire boxed army, could I pledge the command section of it in a regular monthly oath? Or would they be off-limits because that's effectively double-dipping? (Benefiting twice from the same work.)

I could see cases for it going either way, really. I'd like to try a pretty massive AU project this year, but don't want to get locked out of working on it for a regular monthly oath since that defeats the purpose of the monthly oaths. (Ie: Getting your stuff painted.)

OATH COMPLETE! The SOMUA S35 (Claiming TECH JURNAL for all that sweet, sexy mustard yellow.) MG34 team (on the go) 5 cm leichter Granatwerfer 36 mortar team. Officer and NCO. I'd also like to claim BOX ART, if we can count the Bovington Tank Museum as a "box." This month was a blast! I custom photoshopped the tank's unit emblem and licence plates, then painted over them to match my style. And I honestly thing that's the best looking grass and mud I've ever stood toy soldiers on.

I'd like to see a Facebook group, but don't want any random freakshow grognards harassing my family with murder-rape threats over my elfgame opinions. Is there a Facebook group setting that's semi-anonymous? Or maybe just avoid the thing entirely and do a Wordpress.

Monoliths posted:1 Point - Moths Thanks! The scheme doesn't look much like we imagine camouflage today, but I'm proud of how close I got to its historical counterpart: One of camouflage's purposes is to help break up a target's silhouette - so anything that confuses the eye regarding the actual physical lines might be effective. Today's Mossy Oak and Realtree stuff takes that to the next level by attempting to break up profile and photo-realistically blending with the background - but in camouflage early days they were trying some really crazy stuff. I'd recommend for anyone interested to google lozenge or razzle dazzle camouflage - and if someone braver than me can paint those I'd love to see it!

It got me to visit their page, where I learned that I apparently get a 10% discount as former military! Which is awesome since most places do active duty and retired only. I'm definitely going to be picking up some of their objective tokens for Chain of Command jump-off makers. Those question mark creates are perfect for the Schrodinger boxes they represent.

Google Drive acts weird as hell on my computer, it looks fine now! Thanks for looking into it! (I think what's happening is that Chrome shows cached, previous versions of doccuments from my phone's Drive app. It made looking at the Kings of War 2 playtest lists a garbage nightmare.)

I'd also like to throw in for Anime. What! Moths you dum-dum, Jem was an American cartoon! And while it was, "The animation for most of the episodes was provided by the Japanese animation studio Toei Doga (Toei Animation)."
