I've posted a tutorial on my clear bases on my blog. If you have any questions, please let me know. Also, yes, I'm aware I mispelled Nephesh. I blame the Mummy's curse! Finally, if you think other gamers would be interested in the bases, please feel free to pass along a link to my blog:

ROFL! Get that cat off your table! Anyway, I went ahead and dropped Yula onto my carpeted floor from 6-7 feet high a few times. She stayed on the base just fine, though I cannot say how that compares to a swipe from your cat. The glue I use, Homax brand "Welder" glue is quite strong though you can definitely pull the figures off if you try. For me, its the perfect balance. The bond is strong enough for normal wear and tear, but if I want to take a figure off the base for a modification, its a cinch! Please see the tutorial for more information about it.

LOL! Okay, I'll post a size comparison photo of Hans next week since everyone's interested. I should warn everyone that Miah and I have an ongoing joke about Hans being a baby golem, or Golemjungen, because of his size! =P

More connected maps would be great. I had the idea to use my bases as pathfinder circles which you could then place on top of the board for other games. It would take a lot of effort to plan out where the circles should go though...

I've posted a review of the first Tannhauser novel, Rising Sun, Falling Shadows, on my blog:

Review: Rising Sun, Falling Shadows

I plan to post a review of the new novel, Operation Night Eagle, later today or maybe tomorrow. 

I've added my review of Operation: Night Eagle to my blog

Review: Operation Night Eagle

I've written an article looking at some of the information that we learned from the two Tannhauser novels. Please be aware that you should read both stories before you read the article as it contains many spoilers! A couple of quick, relatively spoiler-free teasers from the article:

RSFS seems to confirm that the Han'ei project involves some sort of cloning… Iroh Minamoto, the first subject to come out of the Han'ei Project, is said to have fallen multiple times in battle, only to return again. That leads to an idea I had, that maybe Iroh really does die whenever he falls, but that the Shogunate simply clones another "Iroh" from the remains of the last one.

The remainder of my theories deal with Wolf and his plans. In both novels, Wolf plays an important role… and raises questions about who (if anyone) is behind his plans, who or what is Wolf, what exactly his plans entail, and what it all means for the war.
