This time last year I posted the chart below, a rather ambitious painting and modelling plan for 2021. How did I do? Quite well I think; progress is noted in the right hand column in italics. For next year I think I need to narrow the range of periods and scales covered. I will do a blog about my 2022 plans soon.

I have really enjoyed my gaming this year as once we were out of lockdown, having moved house back down to the Settle area I was able to get in touch with some of my old mates and re-start gaming with them. We, as a small group of gamers have enjoyed Blackpowder Pike and Shotte (6mm), General D'Armee (15mm), Never Mind the Billhooks (28mm), Fantastic Battles (10mm and 15mm),Hail Caesar (10mm and 15mm) and Polemos (6mm) and a few other games as well. All were great fun and we have many games to look forward too in 2022.
A few examples of stuff painted this year.
you've done very well with your targets this year, well done.
ReplyDeleteyou've had a productive year and played so many games it's ridiculous
ReplyDeleteBeing retired now is allowing me to indulge all aspects of my wargaming hobby. The (almost) weekly games with the lads down here are great fun.
ReplyDeleteYou're all very fortunate to have a regular weekly game
