Hello again!
Coming back from my trip I feel exhausted. This is not how these things are supposed to work.
So I had a rest by going back to work.
Because of space and weight reasons I couldn't take the figures and paints I wanted. So no painting done, though I had some time to do some.
Coming back I restarted the programme but couldn't get into it like I was before. Sometimes it's like that.
Now, I am taking it more slowly. It's going better this way. I expect to finish the Austrians and Prussians in the first 6 months, That leaves 6 months for the French of which I haven't painted any before.
The basing I have chosen will be by Sally 4th (Sally 4th). 80 mm would seem ideal.
So what do we have?
The rule book for Blucher
I'm liking what I read in Blucher. Elan seems to work and is readily observable. I'm not sure if I want the stats on the bases though. I have time to think that through.
and Frostgrave
Do I want to start Frostgrave so soon after starting Ronin and the unfinished Napoleonics? Yes!
But it will have to wait. There is so much to do on the other two projects (the Napoleonics especially) that I wouldn't be able to complete any. A wargamers curse to be sure. You read of many unfinished projects. I have one that I started years ago though it wasn't a project in name. I bought the Airfix Zulu wars British and Zulus boxes. They are in the garage with books and other things. Perhaps I should buy 'The men who would be King' or some other colonial game rules. Then perhaps not. There may be other rules that come out before I finish all the planned painting.
Frostgrave. I have seen all the YouTube games by Guerilla Miniature Games, and some others. Of mixed viewing to be sure!. I've devoured many a game on the blogs also. So I won't buy anything yet. But what if I used the Heroquest figures for a game?
That is a possibility. Wizard, barbarian, skeletons, zombies. A few, very few, D&D figures and hey presto! I would have to check exactly what I have to see if it makes it possible. I could use the Heroquest board for some of the scenarios in the Frostgrave Folio. Or any scenario set within a building.
But for now, back to the painting. Which, by the way, isn't going to badly!
