Okay I have been bitten by the CY6 bug

 My first introduction was several years at the Sparta Con in Lansing.  Again at Pro & Con in Livonia. Rich Uncle has put on several CY6 air battles Arab - Israeli conflict.   Jet age warfare is quick and deadly.    At the eason Sparta Con the hook has been reset.  Money flew out of my wallet quickly. 

   So I will be sharing my pain with my blog follow with CY6 charts and air campaigns.  Some my hate me....lol  

First is a chart of what one needs to play the Vietnam Air war.  Instead of dropping a fortune in cash for airplanes you may not need.   




True size of a Republican Roman army.

 After watching size I am amazed at the true size..   Enjoy the view.

02 hundred Hours miniature games

 My good friend Anton has been having the group play this game.   The game is great. So many variables to determine the outcome.   This past weekend at the con in Lansing the game was a huge hit with the gamers.   First game the SAS was wiped out to a game.  The second game was just the opposite. The SAS destroyed the Germans to a man with no loss of nay SAS trooper.  Recommend the you take a serious look at this game.

This has to be said.

 You may not agree with me. But it is the truth.  Being a veteran and  having serviced 26yrs. Just think about it.

American Rescue plan ( Taxing of paypal account for sales over 600 dollars)

 ANother great tax thief by the Dems.


WASHINGTON, Dec 23 (Reuters) - The U.S. Internal Revenue Service said on Friday it would delay a new rule requiring more extensive reporting by gig workers and others who are paid through third party apps, after complaints the rule was too onerous.

The rule, part of the COVID-19 relief bill called the "American Rescue Plan," would have required people paid over $600 in 2022 on third party payment apps like Venmo or PayPal to report that figure as income to the tax agency. The previous reporting requirement threshold was 200 transactions or $20,000.

"The IRS and Treasury heard a number of concerns regarding the timeline of implementation of these changes under the American Rescue Plan,” said Acting IRS Commissioner Doug O’Donnell. The rule will now apply to money earned in 2023, the agency said.

Millions of Americans earn significant portions of their income through freelance gigs, selling items through websites like eBay and Etsy and through home rental apps.
