A tiny man shooting a word nearby, within a printed text of the European past. Welcome to another #rebus broadside of the later so-called #ThirtyYearsWar. A shootin' short 🧵 for #skystorians

For experts of #milhist, the #ThirtyYearsWar and the #Bauernkrieg, here is access to the broadside with the title: "Eigentliche Contrafactur und Abriß der vornembsten [O]fficirer und Befelchßhabere/ deß vor hundert Jaren vergangnen Bawrenkriegs ..." www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb0...

#RhodeIsland rarely comes up in the #ScienceFiction I normally read, but it has in the book I #amReading currently, _Roswell_ by Sonny Whitelaw and Jennifer Fallon, a #Stargate SG-1 novel. After a series of errors, the team ends up in Providence in 1908, and resorts to breaking into #BrownUniversity (with the help of 17-year-old Howard Phillips #Lovecraft) to find parts to fix their time machine.

Other books that mention my home state include _True Names_ by Vernor Vinge, where one of the characters engaging in virtual reality in the story made their real-life home in #RI. Also the _Red Son_ #AltHist duology by John Deakins and Herb Sakalaucks, where political changes that ensued from the 1990s town of #Grantville popping up in the #ThirtyYearsWar, King Charles I sold off England's North American holdings to France.

A final work was another #AlternateHistory story, "The Sleeping Serpent" by Pamela Sargent, where the Mongol horde conquered Western Europe. Centuries later the Khanate had settlements on the eastern coast of North America. A young prince, disgusted by the decadence of the late empire and admiring the lifestyle of the Natives, fomented a revolution in these Colonies with the help of a half-blood resident and some tribes. #SciFi

For lovers of violins: I wrote an article about a very, very big violin, its sounds, and dancing soldiers. All this and more was on a #broadside published in 1632, in the middle of the #ThirtyYearsWar. The topic? Portraying the news business as a generally untrustworthy industry producing false and #fakenews. For #NewsHistory, #BookHistory and #earlymodern #MediaHistory. Soon open access, stay tuned for more news. #histodons

Banging the big #drum in 1631! This is a Protestant mocking and warning of Catholic #propaganda and military recruitment during the #ThirtyYearsWar.

This #broadside shows, among other details, a very big drum that is played by Monks and Jesuits (on the left). On the right is the #Devil in a military uniform - and other clerics with the ready war chest.

#MediaHistory knows: the conflicts between 1618-48 filled the newspapers of the time, and inspired lots of media battles. #Histodons

"all at once metacinematic satire, psychogeographical experiment and fanciful ghost story rooted in real history": Johannes Grenzfurthner's sophisticated RAZZENNEST (2022) provides its own audio commentary. Screens 11.59pm today at Film Maudit 2.0

Selling the news was always a business that needed distribution strategies. Here, you see a mobile seller of early modern printed news. Let's focus on the details of this image, a woodcut print of 1631 covering a small pamphlet published in German speaking Europe during the middle of the #ThirtyYearsWar, in a thread for #bookhistory and #newshistory experts, and of course all #histodons in general.

1/6

The battle ends with the left-wing Tercios under Schoenburg collapsing in rout, but the Saxons still clinging on. The Imperial army, though unbroken, will retire under cover of darkness, thankful that Gustavus Adolphus is left with insufficient Horse to mount a meaningful pursuit. #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

As dusk descends, the Saxon Foot is on the brink of collapse, but so too is Tilly's centre and left. A Swedish victory is tantalisingly close, but there's only one turn left to finish the job... #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

With daylight fading, the elite Swedish Brigades tear holes in the Imperialist Tercios, as von Thurn's Brigade arrives from the reserve to repel Pappenheim. Meanwhile, on the Imperial right, Erwitte's Horse is chipping away at the Saxon Foot #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

Despite being cut off from their Swedish allies and attacked by tercios and cuirassiers, the Saxons prove far more resilient than their historical counterparts. Meanwhile, the fight in the centre is an attritional grind #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

Erwitte's horse, supported by three tercios from the centre, engages the Saxon foot, while Pappenheim re-groups his battered horsemen and the opposing centres close for the final showdown #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

With von Arnim destroyed, the Saxon foot is forced to advance, to avoid being cut off from the Swedes. On the left, one Catholic League tercio is routed by cannon fire, but Baner's horse is now close to collapse #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

Is Tilly's plan starting to unravel? Pappenheim is being squeezed between Baner's horse and Oxenstierna's brigade of foot, while Furstenberg's wing, despite finally repelling von Arnim's spoiling attack, is on the brink of collapse #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

Finnish and Livonian cavalry counterattack, but Pappenheim continues to grind down the Swedish cavalry. Meanwhile, Imperial artillery opens up in an attempt to shore up Furstenburg's flailing attack. #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargaming #wargames #TwilightOfDivineRight #6mm

Breitenfeld begins. Pappenheim advances on the left, Furstenburg on the right. But though Isolano's Croats pin down the Saxon left, von Arnim's cavalry wheels to threaten the Imperial cavalry. #ThirtyYearsWar #6mm #Wargames #Wargaming #TwilightOfDivineRight

After nearly 12 months work, and 2,300 figures painted, I'm ready to refight #Breitenfeld 1631. #Baccus and a few #Grumbler miniatures, using #TwilightOfDivineRight rules on my modest 6' x 3' table #Wargaming #Wargames #6mm #ThirtyYearsWar
