Freut mich, dass der Report so gut ankommt. Auch wenn die Erinnerungen an die Niederlagen schmerzen :)
Wounderful and nice really good report
Thank you very much!
BEFORE the room of world war one was incredible ,a lot ,alot of things ,10 x more important that now ,and all the materiel is in original colors ,
SUPER?I AM FROM BRUSSELS
Argee, that the story about Olha is just a legend. We know this story from Primary Chronicle, a 12th century source that is full of legends an biblical references. The story about the siege of Iskorosten is believed to be based on the Nebuchadnezzar's siege of Jerusalem by Byzantine chronicler Georgi Amartol. The Iskorosten was burnt down in reality though. The similar situation with the baptism of Olha. Byzantine sources confirm her visit to Constantinople, but not the emperor's attempt to marry her. Moreover, the emperor had a wife back then Also, Rurik is also most likely to be just a legend. He was mentioned only in the same 12th century Primary Chronicle, there are no earlier sources that mention him And a small correction, it is Kyiv, not Kiev Also, it is interesting that you've chosen red as one of the main colors. From what I've read, it was a popular color in Rus, especially among nobility
Thank you for your comment, sounds like you are much more familiar with the sources than I am. I do remember reading/hearing about the divergent accounts on the episode in Byzantium based on how everybody wanted to play it back home. In some ways when talking about history it always is important to remember that for long periods of time we are depending on 1-2 sources on a subject, maybe supported by archeological evidence. As for Ukrainian/Russian names, thank you for pointing that out, things like that do matter these days and I'm fixing it at least in the title after finishing writing this comment.
@@HistoryandDice thank you. I understand that a lot of people are used to the transliteration from russian, but it happened because Ukraine was under russian control and at some point even Ukrainian language was oppressed so you couldn't be familiar with Ukrainian forms of names
you fail to mention that haithebu also called hedeby (danish) was the biggest town in denmark during the viking age. the nydam ship was taken by the germans from denmark after we lost the battle of 1864 ; whence we lost southern schleswig to germany. germans have never been vikings
Hello, thank you for comment. First all, yes, you are right about Hedeby, however I'd argue just from looking at the plates in both museums it is fairly obvious that everybody there is very aware of the Danish past of that place and indeed parts of Schleswig, not the least also due to the rights granted to the Danish minority in Schleswig Holstein. I don't think I ever made any claims about German vikings. That would have been wrong on many counts not the least that there were no Germans in the 9th century. Or at least nobody who would call themselves Germans. Germans as people and Germany as country come into existence much later (how much later can be discussed). Hence we'd be talking in anachronisms. I'm not an ethnologist either so I can't really make a call on whether there is an overlap in this period between Germanic and Nordic peoples. There was one for sure in earlier centuries, just to give an example look at the Cimbri who came from Jutland. At least they were still culturally very close in the early middle ages and looking at the History of Schleswig this are has been pretty much the border region between say a danish and germanic/german culture and later the German and the Danish sphere of rule for more than a millenium. For me the museums offer a very interesting view into the early medieval age as well as the later history of the regions.
Did they have Hitlers pencils in the museum?!
Ist ein schönes Video geworden.
Danke! Hoffentlich sieht man sich bald mal wieder auf einem Turnier, wir hatten ja noch nicht das Vergnügen, die Würfel/Klingen zu kreuzen.
@@HistoryandDice Das soll auf jeden Fall noch kommen!
It is all a matter of evolution 😉👍
Very helpful video that deserves more views. Thanks.
Thank you very much :)
You should try DBR for playing 30YW. We can arrange a demo game in the club after I finished my 30YW French Army 🙂
Nice Video! I must visit this museum.
Definitely worth it, always check out their website for additional events in the village.
Nice painting and basing, lovely minis!
Thank you very much 🙏
Nice Video :-) Thanks for your Support.
We're glad you like it. Have fun with it and best regards 🙂
Nice video! Sometimes you speak really quickly though, you might want to relax (?) a bit and take your time (it may also be you speak quickly normally heh), later you can cut pauses in post-production, but sometimes it feels like you rush through information a bit! But overall I liked it! Keep up good work! Cheers!
Thank you for the valuable feedback. I generally tend to speak rather fast, but I understand, it is not perfect for this kind of format (nor is it in general). But thank you still for pointing it out, you definitely gave me a push to consider how to improve here :)
No Black Army of Hungary? No Poland? No Ottomans? :(
Indeed, this one is very western centric. I’d hope for another one but not sure how to fill it up to 8 or 12 factions that are meaningful enough in this period, especially considering this is meant to be played on conjunction with age of crusades.
Nice job.
Lovely minis here!
Thank you very much!
Did they say when Age of Chivalry would be released?
No specific date but late summer early autumn .
Great video! It's nice to establish options before the book comes out!
Thank you 😊
That club hobby bingo is great idea!
Looks like great destanation!
It is really a fantastic museum, all of the sections.
The Bavarians are my favorite Napoleonic army!
I visited that excellent museum about 10 years ago. I am happy to see they now have a catalogue of their collection in book form.
Actually I was positively surprised at the museum shop both in regards of the quality as well as the quantity of the publications issued by the museum.
Lovely mix of things painted this month; those tiles look they’ll be very handy for making tables with variations. The Battletech force looks particularly good. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year
Thank you for your wishes!
This is a really interesting perspective on miniature painting, really good insights. It's quite apt as I have started recently painting my Legions Imperialis miniatures and this approach definitely applies. With such a small scale, there really isn't a need for huge amounts of detail and this is the technique I'll be using :)
Thank you Ste. Like I said in the video, absolutely agree :)
Such a superb and impressive elephant, keep up the great job on all your figures!
Interesting and thorough update. Nice to see a mix of updates from all aspects of your hobbying, not just the painting. I look forward to seeing your future videos. Subbed! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Great first video and start to the channel. Shall be interested in seeing where you take it. Cheers!
Thank you 😊
