Well to be fair I cant have everything I want ... so I am having one army pack or equivalent.. well I do still have hundreds of Dervish, plains indians and fantasy to paint up.... but my choice is 7 packs from the mid medieval range (I like Knights), 7 packs of ACW stuff to get shot at by the indians or a Norman army pack.... I reduced the list down to these three as my good lady complained it was too long and if I couldn't make a choice then how could she :)

so off the list came the Norse army, the Saxon army, all three of the samurai armies... The french indian wars will have to wait as I want it as a skirmish games so would only need random part packs and I felt that was a bit unfair on Leon just before Christmas.
I also had North west frontier stuff, more Sudan.....I am worried I am addicted....
As well as various fantasy armies.
By Christmas I may have actually finished the Sudan stuff...but then again at the rate I am getting anything painted... :-[ :-[ :-[
My challenge will be the painting competition so whatever I get, that will be what goes in :-\ :-\ :-\

Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

In all honesty, i've been slowing down and buying counter and hex games, that way i actually get to play something  without having to paint it first  :-[

I'm looking at rules for smaller games and skirmish rules, to limit the workload, and allow for more games, as i don't seem to manage to get the big games going in the little time i have.

Thinking about getting two basic impetus armies, they seem small and manageable with a fixed number of elements, so might order some models for that!
