VERY little to report....
Due to a busy reenactment season another filler post I'm afraid, just to show I'm still here......
Our annual German show in sunny Bretten (pic), local gigs, Battle of Evesham, Hever Castle) and making (including a 13thC falconer's glove - and discovering what the toggle is actually for...) or repairing kit has eaten time, as has some script-writing...
Add to that some painting, modelling, family admin. (yawn) and the general exigencies of life and I haven't carried through any serious Solo Wargaming projects. Time just vanishes....
I HAVE been doing some more ad hoc messing about with solo House Rules for Heroquest, which HAS been a LOT of fun (quick to set up, quick to play). We hope to get some of the guys over for a Heroquest night..
Plus more playing of D&D with some of my reenactment chums (and their chums) - though I'm not sure, even after several sessions, that they "get" my character (a somewhat erratic female Tabaxi - pic.). To help with the character build "she" has even written some poetry... (Don't ask.... THIS is what comes of getting an actor to play D&D...).
Also, I embarked on and finished some card design for a "Very Nearly Pacifist" Pratchettian witches Heroquest variant, which seriously ate a LOT of time, but I'm pleased with the results (arrived today - pic). Now for some SERIOUS playtesting.
Oh, and I bought a WOFUN "Armada" set. Very nice - but like an eejit I AGAIN forgot the "Brexit Dividend" ("hawk - spit") of having to pay 28% extra for anything worth the candle from the continent these days (I ask you... Sigh... A blue passport was NOT worth all costs accrued even only thus far..), so THAT was a financial "ouch"...
I would like to run a simple Armada campaign, possibly multiplayer..(?) All I need are volunteers (or pressed men)...
Oh, and I've been reading a LOT.. The Shardlake series and some "Sapper"..
But onward we go...
The reenactment season (apart from Battle of Hastings in Oct.) is practically done for me now, and while there are other events and a holiday in France to deal with, Autumn SHOULD see me back into the swing of things wargamery....
That's SHOULD, of course.....
