Q of the Week: Plans for 2011?

[Dazza]

2011 :

Play more games and take more photos (better ones)

Pester CLIB for more AWI figures ( tarletons )

Push for some tea drinking brits (WW2)

Resist the temptation to fund another period of gaming

Create more terrain for my WW2 and AWI games.

Enjoy this year more than last......

and anything else I forgot

- Marvel at Pruneau's display at Crisis 2011. 

Eek, pressure 

[jfariahitech]

Start a new era gaming and build/paint from the very beginning my SYW´s armies...

[laffenator]

Mmmm..an interesting question.

To finish: -

- SYW Austrians & Prussians.
- Napoleonic French & Austrians (nearly there).
- WW2 Russians & Japanese.
- Warmaster Medieval French Ordonnance

To start: -

- Ancient Greeks, Britons & Romans. I have to get a warmaster ancients army completed this year, at least.
- SYW French.


....and I'm not going to try and deny it.....buy a lot more miniatures this year. "Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose"

[Maenoferren]

A new plans had to be formed:
Stage 1: escape from hospital, but whilst here peruse the catalogue to decide on spendyness.

[Zbigniew]

Even more SYW! 
to finish Austrians,
to start Russians.
to start Spanish and North America

[Chad]

Finish Marlburians

Western theatre of 1866 Campaign

League of Augsburg

Then maybe some Napoleonics.

Sell my 28mm British Naps, I spent some time over Christmas finishing off their bases , replacing flags and generally making them tempting.  They should generate sufficient cash to kep me in 10mm lead until the summer.

10mm projects are finish the 7YW French (only about 6 battalions of infantry to go) then the Prussians, with a bit of luck I might be playing by this time next year.

In between I need to roll out a lot more WW1 French infantry.

My big Resolution is to paint everything I already have before buying anything else - and then go crackers on WW2 10mm.  I might just have to buy a few samples though.........

If you're nearby, you can always pop into Pendraken HQ and have a look at some stuff?

After many years of flitting from one project/scale etc to another I have actually made a plan for the first 6 months of this year to get various battlegroups finished. Deadlines have been set around the various shows I attend and additional units will only be purchased if I am on target. First show is Cavalier at the end of February and the aim is to complete a British and German Battalion for BKC plus a few scenic items, reward for completing is a Sherman Squadron. These and some other bits and pieces will need to be done by To the Redoubt in July (if it's on this year) in order to get more which may well be something completely new. By then I will have a new plan for the second half of the year with SELWG in October as a target. Alls sounds a bit regimented but needs to be done as I've been getting no-where fast for far too long now.

2011 will see me finishing every Pendraken Miniature I have amassed to date - plus more I`m bound to collect this year.

Starting with the Pendraken Scenery (roads, hedges, houses, etc), moving on through all my unpainted ECW, Jabobite, and Fantasy minis... I`m going to box up all my other scale things and store them away (thousands upon thousands of 28m figures and terrain); and I`ll concentrate on 10mm pretty much exclusively (not counting my boardgames or my Pax Limpopo Steampunk and Pulp).

This year is going to be different from every other year,  , I am NOT going to be sidetracked, I WILL paint to completion the 2 Punic War armies that are winging their way to my doormat. I WILL paint to completion the WotR army coming my way, I WILL finish my 2 AWI armies, and I WILL paint all the bits and bobs that are lounging about in my Pendraken odds drawer. The only purchases I'm allowing myself until that lots done is a single squad (and APC) for my TW platoon, but even then 1 squad will have to be completed before I order another.

and if you believe that then I suspect that you still believe in the tooth fairy.

you can follow my lack of progress here http://gordonsgaming.wordpress.com/

I WILL paint to completion the 2 Punic War armies

Ooooh the Punic Wars, the strings of purse and all that... I`m almost jealous. Happy painting and gaming :-)

[sunjester]

Complete my 10mm WSS forces (5 cavalry/draggon units on the painting table to go, then buy and paint 1 cuirassier unit and 4 units of dismounted dragoons).

Avoid getting sidetracked into expanding my WSS to do the GNW or other nearby conflicts.

Dither over whether or not to add Spanish to WSS (I don't need them....but look, infantry in purple jackets!!!)

Finish 10mm Early War Germans, when Pendraken bring out the rest of the figures.
Ditto 10mm BEF, 8th Army and Afrika Korps.
Consider expanding 10mm Italians as Pithead are looking at bringing out some nice stuff this year that Pendraken do not do.
Complete 10mm Germans and Brits for Italy 43/44

Finish 20mm Germans for  TW&T

Avoid all distractions...Ohh they've got pretty uniforms...........................

[jfariahitech]

Start painting SWY figures and learn how to play with it.
A one man job, I have no one to play with, in my country... yet

"Mine - subject to change at the drop-of-a-hat of course"

You and me both!!! Having perused the Pendraken catalogue picked up at Nikfest, the British Colonial 1899-1905 range has really piqued my interest!

[Maenoferren]
