Life eh!

Mocked by an entry on the Hat forum into doing something about my sad lack of posts, I see it is far far too long since.
My excuse is merely life, events have really made this title obsolete,I do not presently have a table or indeed access to most of my toys, my mind has been active and I do fully intend to keep this blog updated along with the others recording my adventures in the 20mm plastic world. along with the slight diversions. Look forward to posts on;- Colonial warfare, The Clan of the Care Bear, or perhaps the Land that time would not admit to. Southern England 1940 and Boys own gaming.

So what has been happening?

This was originally intended to post a record of progress, well some has been made, but remains mostly unrecorded.

I have been busy re- organising storage and display, finding many lost treasures along the way and renovating the man cave.

A small room, 8 foot by 5. It must contain the playing table, painting and modelling benches plus immediate storage

The overflow will still be a chinese puzzle in the attic.

So what progress has been made, inspiration from others blogs has seen the Frontier project move to the front of the queue and all available troops have been mustered, new recruits have just arrived and await an issue of uniform and equipment.

Details of the life of a Plastic Lancer will be posted on a seperate blog in pale imitation of that of General Pettigrew

The Nothelm Chronicle came to light after many years languishing in the back drawer of my mind, and my opponent in this has again inspired me to move much from the part finished pile.

Many pleasant games have taken place across the green fields of Wittenberg and although I have enjoyed playing with Allans` toys, find I am lacking personal feeling for the troops, steps are being taen to remedy this.

A lot of Boys own adventure figures have found their way across the painting bench, in this I include Pulp, VSF, Gloire etc As yet they have taken little time upon the table, but will possibly use the Mythic system to play a few games in the absence of a suitable group of players.

Past, Present and Future

This blog is created to assist in my thinking about wargames and philosophies.
A newcomer to the genre, I find myself becoming addicted to reading others ego-posts, and having one of my own, decided to join in.
Having said that it is as much for my own sake as others, to help get my thoughts in order by having to slow down in order to put the thoughts on paper, virtual tho it may be.

Here I intend to detail my master plan, and record for posterity my steps along the way,I can then re-read and see that I have actually made progress.
Work is rapidly sapping my will to live, it is a wet sunday and am dreading tomorrow to the extent that I can only slap paint on a few figures before my thoughts drift away.
Have been playing with toy soldiers since the late 50s and managed to amass a mass rather than a collection.I can field a wide range of forces but no armies are finished, are they ever?
