Getting close to the end of another year

HI , Shocking that I am getting in another entry this year . Although I have woefully missed every possible Wargaming painting , gaming and reading target set by myself this year . I have done more as a result . So next year less targets and more fun.

2012 has produced the start of a 15mm Fictional long term campaign which has already given Tim and I a couple of fun battles and made me rebase and reuse figures that have not seen the light of day for over a decade ( they are not so happy about the pounding they have been on the receiving end of.)

My plan to do some smaller scale actions in 28mm did not quite get off the ground but the first part of General Otts 1798 Austrian Brigade has been painted a ( Massive ) 36 figures , a "unheard of" amount and I quite enjoyed doing them ( I am a gamer , not so much a painter).

Fictional Countries and regions have been created and mapped ( Tim has been driven in his attention to detail and my scant notes of twenty plus years ago are quite interesting in their contrast )

The idea of a naval contingent by Tim seems to have moved from a few small ship actions , to Tim purchasing a Langtons pack of a  Fleet and a few small vessels from GHQ to give my small privateers a sporting chance , or to drive my schooners into the waiting guns of his ships of the line.

We will be using the " Kiss me Hardy " KMH rules from the Two Fat Lardies ( any of their rules are worth a look for a Entertaining game )

Lastly the huge ( HUGE ) amount of wargames stuff residing in the Garage did actually reduce this year , Ebay be praised .......

2013 , Post more on the Blog , Finish poor General Otts Brigade , purchase at least a Frigate to help my merchantmen and schooners get the hell out of Dodge when his 74 gunners appear , yes Seventy Four Gunner(S)....more than one...sell even more of the metal mountain on Ebay and on the battlefield bring victory to The Empire .

Not much again then ....................
