Used some figures left over from one of the Victrix 12mm sets to make up a few stands to represent dug-in squads for my O Group games. Simple enough to make - Milliput for the base and figures cut in half. Good way to use up the additional figures.

My review of Dragon Rampant 2. The core rules are largely unchanged but with lots of special rules that reflect unit characteristics. More scenarios, campaign system, and army lists. The book is a work of art in its own right, with fine illustrations. balkandave.blogspot.com/2025/12/drag...

Had time last night to finish off these three farm buildings for my France 1940 table. The L shape was a 3d print, but the other two are scratch-built from xps.

I have been out Running Errands™ and have secured the venison backstrap for tomorrow's dinner.
The Duroc apple-smoked bacon to go with the black pudding and scallops is also in hand.
My Duroc guy threw me some bone-in chops, so that's dinner either tonight or Friday.
This is going to be good.

#FeatureFriday As I delved deeper into creating Fomorians, I drew on their inspiration as written in the Lebor Gabála Érenn. There's a lot of name drops in the book of invasions which I've used to craft a set of clans, each with a theme. The Flayed Mind are those obsessed with death and eternity.

Friday saw me and Mark have a first dabble with Devilry Afoot by Nic Wright. What a blast?! It’s a cooperative game where the players are witch/monster hunters in the 16/17th C (ish!). Played out two missions. Only needs a two foot square terrain set up and a handful of figures. Recommended!!!

This is absolutely correct.
Filing your I-765 to get your I-766, making sure you don't confuse your A number with your SSN, making sure you don't lose that EAD when you have it and having to explain to HR what half of this stuff means, and then becoming "the immigration expert" by default.

The average American is so far removed from any actual immigration concerns that any thoughts they have on the topic are meaningless.
If you can't tell me what the difference between an i-130 and an N-400 is, you shouldn't get any say.
