Manoeuvres in the Alpines Region

 This morning saw Empire troops manoeuvring in the disputed Alpines region . Mountain troops, infantry, machine guns and artillery took part under the watchful eye of General Sachertorte and his staff. The Alpines region lies between The Empire and The Confederation. Both countries claim ownership. The ongoing border dispute is centuries old. It is expected that The Confederation may conduct their own manoeuvres in the coming days ahead…

    1. Thank you. The flag is just a photocopy, glued and varnished but serves well.

    1. Spring in the Alps is most conducive to sabre rattling, imho.

  6. The fauna in the Alpines region looks amazing - those huge flowering shrubs, twice the height of a man, for example! They'd better look out for the giant cats, too... Nice pics, good to see them out in the fresh air!

    1. This unique habitat of giant flowers gave Jules Verne the idea for “The mysterious island” I am reliably informed. So far we have been spared giant fauna. The Empire troops have spen5 the winter in Fortress Drawer and are relieved to be outdoors once more…
