  • ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS of the IMPERIUM These Datasheets Allow You to Fight Apocalypse Battles with Your Astra Militarum Miniatures
    ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS OF THE IMPERIUM These datasheets allow you to fight Apocalypse battles with your Astra Militarum miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. KEYWORDS Throughout these datasheets you will come across the <Regiment> keyword. This is shorthand for a keyword of your choosing, as described below. <REGIMENT> Most Astra Militarum units are drawn from a regiment. Some datasheets specify which regiment the unit is drawn from (e.g. Mukaali Riders have the Tallarn keyword, so are drawn from the Tallarn Regiment), but where a datasheet does not, it will have the <Regiment> keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which regiment that unit is from. You then simply replace the <Regiment> keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen regiment. For example, if you were to include an Atlas Recovery Tank in your army, and you decided it was from Vostroya, its <Regiment> Faction keyword is changed to Vostroyan and its Recovery Vehicle ability would then read: ‘At the end of the Action phase, this unit can to repair one friendly Vostroyan Vehicle unit in base contact with it. If it does, remove one damage marker from that Vehicle unit. Only one attempt to repair each unit can be made each turn.’ ATLAS RECOVERY TANK 5 An Atlas Recovery Tank is a unit that contains 1 model.

  • Gunpowder on MYSTARA Unpowder-Using Siege Weapons-Is a Novelty in the Known World Since 1014 AC
    Gunpowder on MYSTARA unpowder-using siege weapons-is a novelty in the Known World since 1014 AC. An obscure Cleric from the Heldannic Order, Brother Berthold Schwartz of Freiburg (now deceased), claimed to be the inventor of gunpowder. That can’t be Gprov ed since it appeared in various areas almost at the same time. Of course, this is reason enough for the kindly Heldannic bunch to feel that all the other nations have no right to use this holy weapon sent by Vanya. It would seem that gunpowder is a byproduct of the Great War between Thyatis and Alphatia. he nations that have access to gunpowder could be Thyatis, Karameikos, the Heldannic Knights, Darokin, Rockhome, and faraway Ochalea. Glantri, of course, would probably seek to have every speck of this despicable, non-magical (as Tthey see it) filth scoured from the surface of Mystara (“Peh! There isn’t enough of this evil powder in King Stefen’s Mad Mary to rival our Glantrian fireballs!“). Between these two extremes lie the “have-nots.” Some don’t really care or aren’t wealthy enough for this kind of novelty (like Ierendi, Minrothad Guilds, Aengmor, Five Shires, Ethengar, Northern Reaches, Ylaruam, and Wendar), but might be able to acquire it if needed. A host of others are frothing at the mouth for the skills and secrets necessary to create the precious gunpowder and the weapons that utilize it. In the latter group would fall all Humanoids, Hule, and most of the Isle of Dawn nations. None of them would be above kidnapping, blackmail, and other treachery to acquire what they want.

  • A Late Medieval Or Early Modern Light Gun Barrel from the Castle Museum in Malbork—Typology, Technology of Manufacture and Identification of the Smelting Process
    Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (2019) 11:2007–2026 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12520-018-0653-3 ORIGINAL PAPER A late medieval or early modern light gun barrel from the Castle Museum in Malbork—typology, technology of manufacture and identification of the smelting process Grzegorz Żabiński1 & Mateusz Biborski2 & Ewelina A. Miśta-Jakubowska3 Received: 9 February 2018 /Accepted: 3 May 2018 /Published online: 18 May 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract The paper discusses a gun barrel of a possibly late 15th-early 16th c. date from the collection of the Castle Museum in Malbork (Marienburg), Poland (MZM/468/MT). The barrel was originally part of a hand-held gun (a hackbut?) and was later converted into a light cannon. The barrel was made from unevenly carburised soft steel (c. 0.1–0.2% C). Both metallographic examinations and the analysis of slag inclusions with the use of multivariate statistics suggest that the metal in the barrel was manufactured using the direct (bloomery) smelting process. Keywords 15th–16th c. Military . Light artillery . Hand-held firearms . Hackbut . Castle Museum in Malbork . Archaeometallurgy . Archaeometry . Slag inclusion analysis . Multivariate statistics Introduction It is generally assumed that iron barrels of hand-held firearms were made by forge-welding one or several iron pieces on an iron The aim of this paper is to discuss an iron light cannon barrel core.

  • Digital 3D Reconstruction of British 74-Gun Ship-Of-The-Line
    DIGITAL 3D RECONSTRUCTION OF BRITISH 74-GUN SHIP-OF-THE-LINE, HMS COLOSSUS, FROM ITS ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION PLANS A Thesis by MICHAEL KENNETH LEWIS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Filipe Castro Committee Members, Chris Dostal Ergun Akleman Head of Department, Darryl De Ruiter May 2021 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2021 Michael Lewis ABSTRACT Virtual reality has created a vast number of solutions for exhibitions and the transfer of knowledge. Space limitations on museum displays and the extensive costs associated with raising and conserving waterlogged archaeological material discourage the development of large projects around the story of a particular shipwreck. There is, however, a way that technology can help overcome the above-mentioned problems and allow museums to provide visitors with information about local, national, and international shipwrecks and their construction. 3D drafting can be used to create 3D models and, in combination with 3D printing, develop exciting learning environments using a shipwreck and its story. This thesis is an attempt at using an 18th century shipwreck and hint at its story and development as a ship type in a particular historical moment, from the conception and construction to its loss, excavation, recording and reconstruction. ii DEDICATION I dedicate my thesis to my family and friends. A special feeling of gratitude to my parents, Ted and Diane Lewis, and to my Aunt, Joan, for all the support that allowed me to follow this childhood dream. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee chair, Dr.

  • The Twelve Apostles: Design, Construction, and Function Of
    THE TWELVE APOSTLES: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND FUNCTION OF LATE 16TH-CENTURY SPANISH GALLEONS A Dissertation by JOSE LUIS CASABAN BANACLOCHA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cemal Pulak Committee Members, Kevin Crisman James Bradford Donny Hamilton Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2017 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2017 José Luis Casabán Banaclocha ABSTRACT The development of the Spanish galleon as a specialized warship took place in Spain during the 16th century. A series of prototypes built in Spain in that century incorporated concepts and technological solutions from both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic maritime traditions, and became the basis for this new type of vessel. The Spanish galleon was designed in response to changes in Atlantic trade routes at the beginning of the 16th century when, as a result of Spanish transoceanic expansion, new and more specialized vessels were needed for both the coastal defense of Spain and its overseas territories, as well as to escort the oceanic fleets. In November 1588, King Philip II of Spain ordered the construction of 12 new galleons of 500, 600, and 800 toneladas, four ships of each tonnage, specifically designed as warships. These galleons were to replace the losses that occurred after the failure of the Spanish Armada against England, since the chronic Spanish shortage of warships was aggravated by the loss of some of the best naval units. This decision marked the beginning of the largest shipbuilding program attempted in Spain until that moment.

The work seems not to have been superseded by any other as regards the general treatment of the principles adopted in mediaeval times for the fortification of Castles and Towns. The examples, it is true, are drawn from existing remains in France, but the same principles apply to English fortifications whether of Castles or Towns, and the admirable illustrations of M. Viollet-le-Duc speak not only in all languages, but elucidate the mode of structure adopted in all countries. It has therefore not been considered necessary to make any addition to what M. Viollet-le-Duc wrote, but it has been thought well to reprint the Preface by Mr. John Henry Parker, which he appended in 1879 to the Second Edition. Oxford, Sept., 1907. a 2 PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
