Mad Lemmey's Painting Blog

So, in terms of wargames and painting how did 2019 go for Mad Lemmey? Not a bad year to be honest, lots to be excited about. Ho! Ho! Ho! Looking at Last Year's thoughts, what have I actually played?  Why is that up there twice?  A LOT of MeG! An awful lot of MeG, nearly 70 games... Why? Coz I really enjoy it. So, apart from MeG, why does Carcassione and King of Tokyo feature so prominently? Simples , I play them with my wife and daughters, and they all count, right? Last Days:Zombie Apocalypse came from out of the left field, and I've absolutely loved it, and even to the point of actually shelling out on terrain and a game mat, and the Blogs have been great fun to write.. Sabresquadron took a hit as Nick has been rather busy with a new job, and I've got North and South Koreans to try out. Warband also, as I've been MeGging... Armada and X-Wing have been rather sidelined too, but really want to do more.. Gaming itself has taken a hit since Septembe...

Two games to allow Ray to practise with his army before the IWC in Belgium this month. I was invited around to Ray's pad in London Village to move the board games, books, figure collection, and construct his shelving to help sort and catalogue his figure collection during the next stage of constructions ! I needed a day's exercise after the Xmas binge and what better way to spend Twixmas than helping out a friend and playing some games (and enjoying his wife Meana's amazing cooking). 14000 steps (up and down his garden) later. A small selection of Ray's armies (each box is A3 and holds about an army, nothing compared to Hammy or my 19th Century heap I know, but he is only been in this ancients game 2 years)! I only got the left hand section catalogued! 😕 The army he chose to use isn't even in the stack!!! Ray cruelly forced me to stop work after 6 , and we had a game before dinner . Game 1: Mid Republican Romans vs Thracians . Yeah, Thracians...
