What's on your workbench?

[Purple]

Newest pile of amateur painted gaudy tat from Purpsdam just to prove I am still ticking along.

[goat major]

Very nice ! Have you been watching Catherine the Great ? Lots of uniform porn

[levied troop]

Pretty.
I was wondering where the Helen Mirren figure was.

[Jeremy]

Lovely work Purps! Pity about that one flag being upside down. Still, a 50% success rate.

[Purple]

Don’t be silly. I checked many times as the flags were twats to get on.
They aren’t great to be fair so I’ve squashed them up and nobody will notice, sssshhh.
I also swapped officers rifle for a spontoon just to be a total rebel.

I haven’t seen Catherine, it’s on Sky and I won’t pay them a penny for there bollocks, I’ll wait for a stream provider to pick it up or dvd bucket job.
Am I right in thinking they’ve concentrated on her later life? Quite interesting if so, as almost everything previously produced has focused on the juicy bit with poor Prussophile Peter.

[goat major]

Yep hubbys already dead before ep 1

[Purple]

Poor Peter.

Here’s a fun ‘What if?’ ... Peter isn’t skewered by Ekaterina’s Goons and provides Friedrich with the Russian Army at his disposal for next campaign season in 1763... Friedrich tells Maria to shove her Treaty right up the Habsburg.... and game on! Again.

A very different europe, after austria lays waste to prussia, reclaims silesia and Poland and reasserts dominance over the German States.

Bonaparte takes on the Holy Roman empire and wins spectacular victories, before being overwhelmed. Fat Louis is put on the throne at the point of foreign bayonets and the price of his son's throne is a Hapsburg on the Spanish throne.

When the French finally throw off the Bourbon yoke, the second revolutionary wars gut Europe and spread to the Americas where dissident slave owners make common cause with the revolutionaries.

In 1914, republican France attacks the Rhineland to throw off the absolutist yoke of the Hapsburgs. They are greeted as liberators and the Russians cooperate with the rump of Prussia to attack the Hapsburg empire. A communist with a pathetic excuse for a moustache takes control of the rump of the Hapsburg empire and builds a military industrial complex which takes Germany state by state, Britain, badly bruised fighting the French and Prussians in the Great War, stays its hand and maintains neutrality patrols to stop Unionist sympathisers supplying the French. The Tsar, declares a Holy War against Austrian expansionism.
