"Guest Posts" Topic

TMP gets several emails daily from people offering to write free articles or make guest posts. I suppose their goal is to place a link on our site, and have it picked up by the search engines.

These people seldom bother to check out what TMP is about. For example, I got this one today:

I checked out The Miniatures Page, and I'd love to contribute an in-depth and actionable guest blog. Our team's expertise includes an in-depth knowledge of the music industry and what musicians need to be successful. We'd be happy to write a blog post that approaches any of those topics, or we can submit ideas for you to approve.

Also, they often think TMP is an online casino!

I get them regularly and they go straight in the bin.

Trash them.

Bean for the win!

I assume they would just ask an AI to write something.

Music is a subjective topic and opinions on it vary greatly. Some people believe that modern music lacks soul, creativity, and originality, and that it all sounds the same 1. Others argue that technology has made it easier for everyone to create music, leading to a lack of development for new artists and a decrease in the quality of music 2. However, these are just opinions and not everyone shares them.

As for miniature wargaming, it is a form of wargaming in which military units are represented by miniature physical models on a model battlefield 3. The use of physical models offers a visually-pleasing way of identifying the units on the battlefield 3. I couldn't find any information on how this applies to music. Could you please clarify your question?

No battlefield music? Role of Drummers and other musicians from signaling to morale…

Be interesting to see what they would produce

From Google Bard
"Music has been used on the battlefield for centuries. It has been used to communicate, to motivate, and to intimidate.

Communication

In the early days of warfare, music was used to communicate orders and signals to troops. Trumpets, drums, and other loud instruments could be heard over the din of battle, and they could be used to send messages quickly and clearly. For example, a trumpet call might signal the start of an attack, or a drumbeat might signal a retreat.

Motivation

Music can also be used to motivate soldiers. The sound of drums and trumpets can create a sense of excitement and urgency, and it can help to rally troops and keep them fighting. In addition, certain types of music, such as martial music, can be used to instill a sense of pride and patriotism, which can further motivate soldiers to fight.

Intimidation

Finally, music can also be used to intimidate the enemy. The sound of drums and trumpets can be a fearsome thing, and it can make the enemy feel outnumbered and outgunned. In addition, certain types of music, such as war chants, can be used to create a sense of chaos and confusion, which can make it difficult for the enemy to fight effectively.

Today, music is still used on the battlefield, but its use has changed somewhat. In modern warfare, music is more likely to be used to boost morale and to provide a sense of unity among troops. However, the traditional uses of music on the battlefield, such as communication and intimidation, are still employed in some cases.

Here are some examples of how music has been used on the battlefield:

In ancient Greece, trumpets were used to signal the start of battle.
In the Roman army, pipes were used to keep troops in step.
In the Middle Ages, drums were used to rally troops and to intimidate the enemy.
In the American Civil War, fife and drum corps were used to boost morale among troops.
In World War II, the Allies used music to communicate with each other and to demoralize the enemy.

Music continues to be used on the battlefield today, and it is likely that it will continue to be used in future conflicts."

I only have two minis with electric guitars. I think that's two more than the article writers have… ;-)

As a law enforcement officer since 1987, I often ask myself what today's musicians should do to be successful.
