Another year of toy soldiers has dawned, and slightly belated, it is time for some introspective navel/naval gazing about my hobby and what I plan to do with it this year.
Erm....
No clue!
Honestly.
So, what do I know:
Rules I'm loving and playing most:
Meg:
I have about MeG tournaments over the year, kicking off at Brighton at the end of this month. Several I know exactly what armies I am using, others I have no clue.
Brighton, Classical(Jan): Mid Republican Romans, solid, fun list, could go well.
Stockport, Medieval (Feb): Medieval - Early Scots or Tudors, both hopeless, one ready, other needs 4 units buying and painting...
Derby, Classical Open(March): Probably Sassanids or Imperial Romans, both do me well.
Rollcall, Eastern theme(April): Samurai. My go to army, and an eastern pool, looking forward to this one.
Campaign, Themed teams (May
): I'm in the retreat of empire pool, most likely Sassanids, or Picts, nope, Sassanids!
Skullrollers(June): Open comp, will probably use Samurai again.
Other comps TBC
Then...
Rollcall, Biblical (Nov): Mitanni, 3 units left to finish, and a camp. Been loving this army vs Andy & Mark
Will I be painting any more, not a clue. Nothing jumps out at the moment. Few units here and there, but no army plans at the moment.
Well, maybe Sassanids or Dacians or Greeks...
Sabresquadron: Loving these rules now, never have a bad game. Painting: just about to finish my 1980s Brits, next up is Korean War North Koreans as a laugh. Might have to buy a suitable opponent for them.
Other rules that are brimming under.
Frostgrave: First game postponed, watch this space. Will add more monsters soon, where did I put that wraith!
Cruel Seas, have enough to go, might need an MTG (or two), and some more E boats...
Poseidon's Warriors: Need more games, and maybe a Syracusian fleet.
Possible games:
Gangs of Rome: Love my first game, but definitely need terrain.
Street Wars: NY: Need terrain and to play.
Both 28mm, so storage of terrain might be an issue.
Imperial Skies: Need more games. Two ships to assemble and paint.
Navel Thunder: more games needed too, definitely need more ships.
Games on the horizon:
Renatio et Gloriam, love them, must finish my Polish infantry.

Have you tried To the Strongest. It's a set of Ancients rules. Nice and easy to play. There is a comp at Cranfield. Pop over and have a look if you get time. Always a pleasure to see you my friend. Don't forget to keep the Black dog in its cage
ReplyDeleteI will certainly pop over and have a look, they sound fun. Hugs.
DeleteSounds like you have as much idea for the coming year as I do! Whatever you do, have fun.
ReplyDeleteA mate just mentioned 28mm ECW... just found an army unpainted in the garage!
