Admin & Planning Post

 General Stuff....

Have been reading Thomas Holt's (excellent) historical novels this month - but there's no way I'm doing hoplite warfare.....

Unless my old H&R 1/300s come out to play....

New purchases for reading & playing/idea-poaching (below).



Meanwhile, more mixed figure painting undertaken and my first plastic model AFV kit for fifty years put together (pic)..

Did polystyrene cement ALWAYS melt the plastic like that? I can't remember. Or maybe it's just that my fingers were nimbler...



I need to print out some unit markings for it (special project: watch this space), but it'll do....

Plus more conversions (why?).... 


I'm not 100% sure who the chap in the frock coat will be, as he didn't turn out quite as I intended... Bit tall for Einstein..? Mark Twain should be in white, I feel. She Who Must Be Obeyed said it looked like me. Bloody cheek...

Mind you, I do have a frock coat. And a waistcoat that colour. And I haven't been near a hairdresser since last year's Spring, so maybe.....

Also, some research on Romans, and reading others' research on Mortimer's Cross - which produced this unusual image....




Re. the Blog itself: I have now made some "Labels" re. subject matter, so as to make searching easier.

Also, I note, re. "hits" on the Blog, that this week there has been a sudden (suspicious) flurry of some several hundred from Sweden; which is not normally part of my "constituency". Very odd..... Hmmm...... 



Anyway, I have promised myself another woodland game this week (not tomorrow; tomorrow we have sword and bill practice), so expect more shortly.

Aftermath... And Day Ten.

The Butcher's Bill, and the Way Back... Burriena counts the cost of the skirmish. Twenty  four casualties, all among the foot. Eleven me...
