Ah! I was thinking, roughly, Waterloo to Ukraine Part 2.

A circle doesn't present a solid front, but a single point to attack. You want that wall of bayonets to break up a cavalry charge. It's also easier to form and control a square than a circle. You always know your place in a square, how far from the next guy, which way to face no matter the size. Other than "out" you don't know just how to face in a circle, and how you face changes with the size.

Grape shot was originally for naval combat at ranges from about 50 to 250 yards and meant to tear up masts, yards, and rigging. Masts aren't exactly small so it takes a good sized ball to really damage it. Same for the yards.

Maybe closer to 220?

It depended somewhat on what gun it was for. About 1.25" up to about 2" for field guns. For the large naval guns, the balls were upwards of 4.5". http://www.civilwarartillery.com/shottables.htm

Done With Bonaparte Mark Knopfler We've paid in hell since Moscow burned As Cossacks tear us piece by piece Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues Though death would be a sweet release And our Grande Armée is dressed in rags A frozen, starving, beggar band Like rats we steal each other's scraps Fall to fighting hand to hand Save my soul from evil, Lord And heal this soldier's heart I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord I'm done with Bonaparte What dreams he made for us to dream Spanish skies, Egyptian sands The world was ours, we marched upon Our little Corporal's command And I lost an eye at Austerlitz The sabre slash yet gives me pain My one true love awaits me still The flower of the Aquitaine Save my soul from evil, Lord And heal this soldier's heart I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord I'm done with Bonaparte I pray for her who prays for me A safe return to my belle France We prayed these wars would end all wars In war, we know, is no romance And I pray our child will never see A little Corporal again Point toward a foreign shore Captivate the hearts of men Save my soul from evil, Lord And heal this soldier's heart I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord I'm done with Bonaparte

Thanks! I'd likely go with the one made by the same company that made the firearm. Or that came witvit.

I think mine are 12 and 16.

You must buy a leaner cut than I buy.

But if I start with my LARGEST soup pot I'll STILL need a larger one, but I won't have it!

You don't clean out the ash and grease?

I've never heard of putting vermiculite in the bottom of a grill before. You'll be replacing it every time you use the grill. Back when I was in junior college we used it in the pottery, glassblowing, and metal sculpture classes.

The designated lanes during operations were called "boat lanes."

My guess is an AI Manwith Rifle.

SFA, FPC, and CRPA. All do good work here in the Potmetal State.

Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. The parish is Protection of the Holy Virgin, founded in 1936. St. Seraphim church was founded in 1996 because the original church (still in use) was way too small. Here is a good review of the Iconographic Program.

We got LOTS of vegetables from the Food Bank this morning, as well as another 2 pound block of a Velveeta-type cheese (which gave us something like 10 pounds of it). What to do? Moroccan Inspired Sweet Potato Cauliflower Soup (optional cheese) 1 Medium Onion, chopped 4 Large Carrots, diced 1 ½ bunches of Celery, chopped 2 pounds Sweet Potatoes (some orange, some white), diced 1 Medium Cauliflower, cored and chopped 4 or 5 Cloves of Garlic, minced 2 TBS each Butter and Oil ¼ tsp Black Pepper, ground 1/3 cup Chicken or Vegetable soup base ¼ tsp Aleppo Pepper flakes 1 TBS Savory Spice Shop Mt. Baker Chai Seasoning * Water to Cover (optional, about ½ pound of Velveeta or American Cheese, grated) Prepare all your vegetables. Heat large soup pot over medium heat, melt butter and oil, add onions, sauté until translucent, add carrots and celery, sauté a few minutes. Add remaining vegetables and cook a few minutes to sweat them. Add soup base, pepper, and Aleppo Pepper, stir. Add water. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer. Let simmer until all vegetables are soft. Blend to desired consistency with an immersion blender. Adjust seasonings to taste. If desired, add grated cheese and stir until melted. Serve hot or cold. Play with seasonings to suit your own tastes. *From the website: Saigon and Indonesian cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper, star anise, allspice, bay leaves

A very troubled man who managed to throw away his life. May God grant him rest.

Some good images.
