The Studio

If you're curious as to the setup, there are two or three lights, plus the one on top, the camera/teleprompter setup is on the near right, and I dump all of the computer stuff off-screen on the floor.

Sept Q&A Thread.

I’m running a little behind, busy month. Post your Q&A questions here.

Sept Discords sent out, also Hawaii.

OK guys, those of you who joined up in the last month should now have received a Discord link. If you think you should have access but do not, drop me a line.

Also, keep an eye on my Facebook page. I'm in Hawaii next week. Short notice trip.

Patreon Chitchat

With  any luck, this should work... (If you're watching, the chat function on Youtibe might not work on Patreon)

Livestream Date/Time

Greetings, all.

It's time for me to nail down a date/time for the long-awaited live/chit-chat session with you guys. I'm thinking Friday evening, 23rd Aug, 9pm Eastern. Hopefully it doesn't conflict with anything important on the telly.

Watch this thread for an update on exactly how it's going to be done. Probably an unlisted Youtube live, with the URL here, but Teamspeak works too for just audio.

Let the voting commence.

Thread for the next Q&A video

Post your questions below!

Greece, anyone?

I’m going to assume, on the balance of probabilities, that nobody on here is in either Thessaloniki or Athens in the next two weeks or so?

Post Tank-Fest....

Greetings, all.

OK, I've been a little quiet, spent the last week in the UK. So, first, I just caught up with the discord accesses, so if you think you should be on the discord server ($5+) but don't have an invitation link, shoot me a message, I must have missed you.

The trip was quite productive, though not directly in terms of videos, it was more in terms of who I met. There will be a couple of shorter interviews and a general overview video coming out of it, (Plus a UHST of the British Army Aviation Museum), but on the plus side, I have significantly opened up the options of where/when I can film. Honestly, more places than I have vacation time to get to in the next two or three years, so this bodes well for the future.

Was lovely meeting those of you who found me (And in the case of Thijs,  that was at least four times, so it obviously wasn't hard to track me down!), and I'll see you next year.

In the meantime, the next place I'm fairly sure I'll be is the D-Day event in Ohio next month (On Wargaming business), and I expect I'll be at the US Air Force Museum on my own time (Likely 14 August)  just before that, if you're in the area, with probably a pub session IVO Cleveland that evening.

Greetings. This is the thread to submit the questions for the July Q&A. Post below.

Tech trouble?

Did that lens clip work for anyone?

Looking at it on my screen, it plays audio only, not the video

Q&A Submission

So, I had promised that there would be a monthly Q&A session, wherein you guys can submit questions for consideration, and I'd do my best to answer them on a Q&A video.

Now's probably a good time to open the floor for questions. Go ahead and either message them to me, or put them below. I'll do what I can to dig into the question, and then give an informed response.

France campaign AFV video

For those who are not following, I’ve just “donated” a video to the WW2 channel. An hour long overview of vehicles used in the 1940 French campaign. Find it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH76zz9jq_A

On the Road. Raleigh, Prague, Toronto

So, I promised you guys my schedule.


I am currently TDY with the NCARNG at their HQ just NW of Raleigh, NC. If anyone is around, let me know. I think a pub session Wed or Thu would be appropriate.


The following week, I’m in the Czech Republic, but it’s less flexible. I’m keeping the evening of the 21st open.


Two weeks later, you will find me in Toronto (Oshawa) at the Ontario Regiment’s Aquino Weekend.


If you’re nearby, holler.

Discord

OK, I'm going to go through the patron list and start sending discord links out to folks. Check your messages for a link.  The discord is pretty basic right now, bit at least it's up and we can start chatting, I'm open to find anyone who can give me some advice on getting the right features running.

Link is good for a day, if you miss it, let me know and I'll re-issue a new one.

Greetings, all. SitRep Mid-May

OK, so now this is up and running, better let you guys know what's going on.

May is actually something of a month from hell. Just got back from a week away with the Army, I spent much of this week doing an overview video of the vehicles of the French campaign for the World War 2 channel (another "behind my desk" one) which I presume will go out i the next week or two, and next week I'm off for another week away with the Army. (Raleigh, NC, if anyone's around for a pub session).

Hopefully then I'll be able to attack the French campaign, but if not, if it's too late, likely going back to a switchology video. Just enough time to recover before the Aquino weekend in Toronto, pause before Bovington, then hopefully the downhill stretch. That should allow the pledges to rack up enough to get a 'plane ticket somewhere for filming. Maybe Munster before it semi-closes for rebuild, we'll see.

Summer is busy, shall we say.
