Time and Tide...

April already.??!!

The cruelest month. I've said it before and I'll say it again, who knows where the time goes?

In my case a holiday in Egypt, screaming at the madness of the world, family admin, writing, house guests, drinking with mates, bedding-in a new Rescue Cat, filming a music video (in medieval kit) for (and with) a rapper - and painting: the latter including a 1:1 NWF 6mm Motor Machine Gun battery, a load of D&D and RPG figures and some Strelets Boers painted up for 1930s armed civilians/IRA insurgents. Also making/painting Heroquest props and bods etc.

Add to all that some D&D and board games with mates and the time flies.

Plus some Solo Heroquest test games and, this week, getting out my Wofun "Armada" (pics) for some solo sailing exercise.



Great fun, with the latter using a variant on SP's token activation for fleet elements (the various "squadrons"), dice-led element decisions (i.e. the usual) and some house tweaks of Andy Callan's nice and simple rules.



I know flats aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I spend enough time painting, so....

NOW I want some of their Napoleonic "boats" - but because of bloody Brexit (Grrrrr..... DGMS..!!) buying the (pro-rata) cheaper mass set means one gets hit with Excise and VAT, so a best part of 30% surcharge.... Give me strength....

Hey, ho... The "fighting season" starts shortly; another time-eater. And so it goes...
