I visited Aldbourne recently and it was truly the most exciting trip ever for a BoB fan.

The first stop is of course the Blue Boar pub where the officers used to gather.

This poster is everything! Our baby boy Nix initiated a drinking club with his buddies. By the way, the Winters here is not our Dick Winters. Also, sadly, the staff of the pub had no clue why Nix was called “The Mick.”

This is a letter from Hester. He mentioned Nix’s second wife Irene (who was from nearby city Swindon) was died in 1960s.

The special B.O.B burger in the pub that of course I wouldn’t miss. It’s pretty good.

Outside the pub, only 15 meters away, is the house Nix rented for himself. (Yes that’s what a rich kid would do there!) Ed Shames said it was all a mess (Vat69 bottles all around) inside the house but Nix didn’t drink during work!

Behind Nix’s house is St.Michael’s Church where Sparky got married. I also found the tombstone of the Barnes boy who was KIA in June 1942.

A three-minute walk to the town center you will find a lovely shop and post office. It used to be the house of the Barneses, also where Dick and Harry stayed in Aldbourne.

The Crown used to be the pub where the enlisted men would visit (because the Blue Boar was occupied by the officers).

There are also some Doctor Who heritages in Aldbourne such as this Tardis trash bin.

After Aldbourne I headed to Damian’s gig in Brick Lane, which was brilliant. Damian is so nice! It was a perfect day!!!

Second Battle of Cinza ( 08/01/79 )

battlefield location of Cinza Farm.

the second battle of Cinza, was a conflict in the Sud Rumeliana region in the second Balt Rhein - Turkish war (78 - 80 CTR) that took place on the 8th, Month of Lale, 78 CTR. in a Cinza rice field, beside the Scoglio river. The Balt Rhein army once again attacked the Sud region led by Generals Fretzen, Adam, and Dirk Witcher. The war ended in victory for the Stratocracy, dashing Balt Rhein's further aspirations to seize sud territory.

Background

The background of this war is unknown. according to Franz Babinger, the invasion of the sud region was carried out in order to take advantage of the reduced strength of the Turkiye troops guarding this region. because most of the troops were diverted for the invasion of the Balt region. however, it seems that the invasion of the sud region was not based on the orders of the capital St. Michael. according to Rhoads Murphey, the initiative of this invasion was from General Fretzen as the general commander in this military operation. without heeding the orders of the central government, asking him to gather soldiers in St.Michael after the fall of the city of Gol. Fretzen saw an open opportunity for the empire to invade the Sud. After sending some Rod Orm in order to consensus the Turkish forces. he began to make preparations in the Rhein region, gathering several commanders and troops with him.

On the 1st, the Balt Rhein Army began to enter the Sud. but bypassed the routes of Cantar, Veleria, and Letra. The Balt Rhein troops attacked several villages, market towns, and looted agricultural produce for military use. reports of this attack quickly reached Saruca Pasha, as Beylerbey Sud, in Espada through Turahan Omer Bey who served as Sanjakbey Cinza. when these reports reached him, Saruca Pasha ordered Turahan Pasha, Karaca Pasha, and Hadim Sinan Pasha to mobilise.

Balt Rhein's troops continued looting until they entered Cinza's rice fields which would later become the battlefield. while the Pashas and Beys of Sud made preparations to attack the Empire.

Between Balt Rhein and Turkiye Troops

The number of Turkiye troops defending Sud is still disputed. first estimates reached 60,000. while the Balt Rhein's own estimate from the census was 40,000. the Balt Rhein historian Schiltberger has his own aesthetic number, that the number of Turkiye troops reached 65,000. This contradicts Fretzen's letter to Adam about his census, which states that the Turkiye army was only 40,000 strong. this may have been due to volunteers taking part in the battle. the Turkiye soldiers were all Janissary infantry. and none were on horseback. they were reinforced with a few cannons.

Fretzen's army consisted of 60,000 imperial standby troops, which were supported by 20,000 light Rhein Hussar troops. the main troops under their own commander were at the core of the flank formation. the left flank was commanded by Tott. the right flank troops were commanded by Mark Blumenthal. as for the cavalry troops that were on the second flank of the troops, they were commanded by Adam and Dirk Witcher.

Battle

Cinza Battle formation

On the 6th, the Balt Rhein Army entered Cinza via the Scoglio River, and began plundering the fields, and agricultural products for supplies during the war. the Turkiye army led by Saruca Pasha had reached Cinza the day before and began evacuating the locals. he let the Balt Rhein army continue to plunder in order to exhaust itself in marching and attacking. and after the Balt Rhein army had collected a fair amount of loot, he began to attack them on the 8th.

The two armies consisted of three columns. the Turkiye right flank was led by Turahan pasha and his son Omer Bey. the left flank was led by Hadim Sinan Pasha. and the core of the Turkiye army was led by Saruca and Karaca pasha who faced Fretzen's army.

The battle began in the afternoon. The Turkiye army was able to withstand the Balt Rhein's attack for a while. but then the hussar cavalry troops led by witcher and Adam began to attack the right and left sides of the Turkiye army. Hadim Sinan Pasha and Turhan Pasha were forced to retreat. next, Witcher began to attack the core of the Turkiye forces on the centre flank. and began to destroy the Turkiye forces on the centre flank. as a result, Saruca and Karaca began to retreat. at the start of the battle, it was clear that the Turkiye forces were suffering a defeat. they fled to a camp near the town of Cinza that had been fortified with cannons, muskets, crossbows and wagen fort. and prepared for the next wave of Balt Rhein forces' attacks.

wagenfort, or chariot, which was used for self-defence against cavalry in the 15th century.

The hussars swiftly attacked the turkiye camp with great vigour. thinking they had won. however, the turkiyee troops accompanied by the volunteer troops guarding the camp rained cannon, musket and crossbow fire on them. killing half of them. adam was killed with an arrow threatening his neck. while the witcher fell from the back of his horse, but managed to escape. seeing that it was getting late, and there was chaos among his troops, Fretzen decided to retreat, and return to his camp.

Saruca Pasha made good use of this momentum. towards midnight, he quietly mobilised troops and volunteers. then made noise with fireworks and gunpowder explosions. instantly panicking the Balt Rhein troops, even for their divisions who were on guard that night. fretzen once again tried to mobilise his troops and make a defensive position. Saruca pasha this time used the wagen fort he had used to guard the camp as a means of attack by arranging it vertically. it was then pushed by buffalo to slaughter some of the Balt Rhein troops and destroy their fences. the Balt Rhein troops tried to escape out of the camp, but ended up as prisoners in the hands of the Volunteer troops. fretzen was mortally wounded trying to fight back, but a janisarry soldier managed to cut off his head with his halberd. now the Balt Rhein troops no longer had a leader, they fled the chaos of war with their comrades. Vasco describes the celebrations after the night battle of Cinza; "the excitement reached its peak, every citizen and Turkish soldier made his comrades laugh at each other. While the locals began to loot the camps of the Imperial troops and reclaim the goods they had looted, others harassed the captive enemy soldiers by cutting off their ears and noses (as a form of revenge)".

Aftermath

Casualties on the imperial side were very high. around 40,000 people were killed in the night attack on cinza. and almost all the commanders were killed in the attack, except Dirk witcher who managed to escape. the initial prisoners after the war were around 10,000 personnel. however, this number increased to 20,000, because Saruca Pasha after the War continued to conduct sweeps of Balt Rhein troops who tried to flee back to Rhein territory. some of them got lost and were killed by local residents. those who managed to return safely were only around 20,000 people.

Casualties on the Turkiye side vary. some say 3,000 soldiers to 8,000. but the second opinion seems to be stronger. the second battle of Cinza was a psychological victory for the people of Sud and for the Turkiye forces. and for the first time, the cooperation of both sides was able to break the Balt Rhein Invasion for the second time since the first invasion 3 years ago. since then the Balt Rhein's dream of reclaiming sud territory was completely dashed. until the fall of their empire a few years later.

Can you give us the backstories on some of your sims ?

I'm never asked stuff like this wow I'm so excited. I'll do the main ones that have the most detail

Georgia was raised by their mother for pretty much all of their life up until they graduated high school. Their father was in prison for most of their life and just recently got out last year.

Their schooling background is a bit messy. They went to college to study science but dropped out due to the suicide of their best friend.

Georgia pursued cosmetology school and earned their license. They were a hairstylist for two years but quit because they didn't like it. They then went back to university and studied biology.

Through all of this, Georgia remained consistent with one hobby; singing. In their free time, they'd learn how to use and manage music softwares and programs and upload songs behind an anonymous account on Soundcloud.

Now Georgia has a platinum single and is currently working on their album for the Fall.

Kyiv`s St.Michael`s is our Parthenon. A beautiful temple that stood on a hill watching over the city for centuries of its rich and vibrant history. And then the invaders came, they stripped the priceless bas-reliefs, mosaics, and frescos, took them far away to their museums, and refused to give them back. Only in our case Russia also literally blew the desacrated cathedral up, destroying thousand years of our history, to errect a giant gaudy monument on top of it which they, thankfully, had never managed to build.

Well done to our U'15 football team, who won the Leinster Champions League after a hard-fought 4-1 victory over Donabate at Dublin Port Stadium. St.Michael's took the lead through Harry Horneck but a goal from Donabate saw the sides go in level at the break. The second half saw St.Michael's pull away through goals from Jack Brennan and Ben Ward, both assisted by dead ball specialist Jake Tormey. Ben Ward scored his second to see out the game and make it 4-1, sparking huge celebrations amongst the vocal support. All of the coaching staff are extremely proud of the work-rate and talent that the team have displayed all season. Today's honour is well-deserved.

Diana Savita Wagner. A short report by Microsoft. It first shows a few pictures of the funeral service for her on 14th february in the St.Michaels Cathedral in Kyiv. But then you see a short video of her death - two soldiers jump upwards to her and rescue her body against a background of a huge wall of smoke caused obviously by the explosion of a grenade. It's just a short second that you see her body carried by them, and it's just a short second that you see her face, motionless like her body. She was hit by a shrapnell as we read later. And perhaps she was hit direct deadly - as you may think when you see this scene. How is it possible to film that amid the combat? I do not understand it. I will never forget this terrible and uncredibly sad scene... (it's also on youtube shorts, but not so clear).

Visited October 6th,2023

Then I traveled to Gibraltar at the beginning of October! Gibraltar is in front of the Mediterranean and for many years caused a debate on who it belongs to as Spain, France and Britain have all claimed it. Ultimately Gibaltar was taken possession of by the British fleet in 1704 during the war of the Spanish succession. The treaty of Utrecht in 1713 also ceded Gibaltar to Britain. Although the Spanish continued to fight for the terriority it still currently remains British territory. From a certain spot in Gibaltar you can view Africa which is only 9 miles away by view. Another unique site at Gibraltar is the monkeys that inhabit the island. While we were there we took a van tour where we went to St.Michael’s cave, the lighthouse and a place to see monkeys. We also were given some free time to explore and get lunch in the central area. While there are tried some fish and chips and was highly impressed. They did live up to their British reputation. It was odd to realize we were in a part of Britain when it only took us a bus trip to get there from Seville. The cave was cool but to me was not as big as I had hoped. The monkeys were the stars of the show. Intreacting with them was a tad scary but was fun to be able to take a picture with them. These monkeys ranged from adults to babies and small families. They were all over the trees and trying to steal from unsuspecting tourists. The weather was gray and wind which reminded me of London. This was not one of my top places and although the ocean view and rock structure was nice to look at it was a one and done for me. All the pictures taken of the landscape were taken by me and the photos taken of me were by Laura Josler on October 6th, 2023.
