  1. Looking at First Manassas on the animated Civil War webpage, I read that no less an authority than General Bees' adjutant stated that when Bee said that Jackson was up on that hill 'standing like a stonewall', he was in fact insulting him not holding him up as an example. I've read this story a few times in other accounts of the battle but was always incined to doubt it but Bees adjutant? Seems more than possible to me now.

  2. Try this with Aris' Kubelwagen.Open Kubelwagen-Hull.bmp in Photoshop. Then go...Image....Adjustments....Replace Color.The Replace Color box will come up.The correct Eye Dropper tool will already be selected. Take it over on to the Kubelwagen hull and select (click on) a colour.Try and select one of the lesser used colours or the Kubelwagen will be almost completely white.When you have done this the small image in the Replace Color box will show you what will be white on the Kubelwagen.(If it's too much or not enough start again). Go to the 'Lightness' slider and move it to the right. As you are doing this bits of the Hull will whiten.Set this to your own taste, I set it at between 90 and 100% usually, then Save it. I did it for the 'Hull-Muddy.bmp' as well and of course the wheels.Thats it.

  3. Did you go visit the 12" guns in the Maxim Gorky battery just north of Sevastopol??

    Originally it had 4 guns in twin turrets, but it was rebuilt after WW2 with 2 turrets from the dreadnought Frunze (originally Poltava) and supposedly they remain in working condition - although supposedly last fired in 1958 - but they are still real WW1 dreadnought equipment :)

    You can see them in google maps & they're on my bucket list!! :)

    Edit: Dammit how do you attach an image here - does it still only take a URL??

    Sadly no. It was a daytrip off a ship and there wasn't enough time to see a great deal.
