2026 And All That......
Goodness but time has flown. A lot of family admin. re. a funeral and Estate business. Two other funerals of friends. Supporting friends and entertaining (inc. Burns Night - hoots..!!) and Xmas.
Add to that cinema (inc. the world premier of the remastered "Zulu Dawn", with a talk by Ian Knight), trip to That London, writing, designing, model-making and toy painting (pics), reading, some D&D sessions with mates, rules testing and gaming with friends - and some solo RPG games which were a LOT of fun, but with nothing radically new solo-wargamingwise to post about here.
Toys: a small castle-cum-watch tower nearing completion, a little river steamer completed, a load of RPG figures painted, including more witches, orcs (below), animals, monsters, elves and heroes, plus I am this weekend making the final touches to some score or so Strelets 1/72 Roman Auxiliary cavalry (more Roman fun in the Spring?).
Following reading (pic below - an interesting small scale scenario) have ordered some Irregular 6mm motorcycles and sidecars etc. to make two Motor Machine Gun Service sections (at 1:1 ratio) to support my Inter-war NWF bods. They promise to be fun.
We have an Egyptian holiday pending (March), but meanwhile I want to get a chance for some more RPG and solo Crossfire experiments before the fighting season begins again with Battle of Lewes in May (pic).
Did I say I have to work on my fitness for that..? I have to work on my fitness for that...
So, not a lot revolutionary to report here, but watch this space.
