TheAuldGrump Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Fun game of Age of Fantasy: Skirmish tonight - tried something different. The objectives were alive, and moved around in random directions. Once controlled, they can be picked up, at -2 to movement for the controlling model. But if the model carrying the objective is stunned or killed, he drops the critter - which then makes a double move in a random direction. The working title for the scenario is 'Greased Pigs'.

Called Lowe's today because we still have not gotten our money back from the dishwasher that was not installed because Reasons(tm). Turns out the installer has not returned it to the store yet. It's been a week and a half. So at what point does it become appropriate to swear out a warrant for this installers arrest? GEM 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on these: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/99265-intergalactic-journey-glitterwolf-paints-aliens-spacecraft-and-other-scifi-things/ I don't play the games. These Jackals are from Onepagerules (3D printed by me) their basing set comes with both square and round options. I used two of my own for this pic. What looks best? Square or Round? Please tell me. Hopefully not too late for input. Based on those two models, I prefer the square base. It might just be that the mini is centered better on it than the one on the round one (which can be fixed), but right now I find it visually more pleasing. 11 hours ago, Jasper_the_2nd said: The good news, I didn't have a stroke.

Thoramel Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 So yesterday I was at a site in Cuyahoga Valley National Park that's being restored to a forested wetland. It's looking nice, but they had a real problem with deer munching on the trees they were planting. So they fenced off the entire area to prevent deer getting to the trees. This meant the coyote couldn't get in there. Which led to an explosion in the vole population. Who ended up eating all the young trees. They kind of gave themselves a lesson in how everything interacts to keep an ecosystem healthy. Anyways, they've since cut some holes in the fencing to allow coyote to get in and sprayed their urine around the holes to scare off deer and let the coyote know where the entrances are, and everything seems to be back on track. But the deer still aren't allowed in. They're serious about that. They've even put up signs that English speaking, Spanish speaking, and illiterate deer should understand... 4 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighbor who has lived where we now live warned us about voles and wild horses eating anything newly planted. The voles from underneath and the wild horses anything above ground. They suggested wire netting in the hole for any plantings so the roots have an opportunity to become well established and either fencing or netting over the above ground growth. I don't know if your local foresters would be open to the wire basket solution for their plantings, but it is one way to keep the voles and other burrowing creatures from dining on tender young roots. I have witnessed the horses grazing on small trees that weren't protected. And I've seen enough evidence of burrow entrances to know that they are just waiting for the buffet to open. Also, we have chipmunks living under the pump house/mini barn and cottontails in the area, which means coyotes aren't far behind. I'm currently in the nursery stage of growing some hollyhocks and they are all going to be in pots for this year. GEM 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the site is 11 acres in size. While they do surround all of the trees mature enough to have been planted from containers with the wire setup you describe, most of the trees are actually bare root saplings and live stakes, which have a decent mortality rate even without critters munching on them. Trying to wrap 4400 saplings in wire would likely have them over budget on the project and there's no way they'd ever get around to cleaning all that out. Even sites with minimal wire tree cages usually have a lot of trash to be hauled off at the end of restoration. Also, if we told the folks working out there to install cages on all their trees I'd likely be assaulted by angry, overheated landscapers. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEM I know, right? Actually, I'm not sure how purple that is for me. I called the store not the hotline. She said she'd email the installer and get back to me within a couple of days. Hoping all of that is by email because I want a paper trail at this point. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
