Q of the Week: Plans for 2011?

[Leon]

As 2010 draws to a close, and I start to look at our plans for 2011, what projects does everyone else have planned for this coming year?

[Maenoferren]

buy the dungeon  and poossibly the booster set too
Christmas money and my winning from the word cup which I havent received yet 

[goat major]

AWI Americans for Guilford Courthouse
Scenery for Guilford Courthouse(trees, farsands of 'em)
Build gaming table and modular boards
40k scenery
A couple of 18th Century battalions for the WD3 game next year
Paint all my Space Hulk figures
Something Renaissance in 10mm ?(I just got FoG R for crimbo)
Anything sparkly that comes along
Paint AWI cavalry in Tarletons

[exilesjjb]

I want to do more wargames painting and stop trying to re-invent the wheel
I have 28mm Celt army, Imp roman, Ancient Greek, ECW, WW1 brits
I plan on a few entries for Euromilitaire (aim for a commended)
I plan a couple of GW Golden Demon entries (aim for finalist pin)
I have 10mm madist and British (plan to expand both too)
world peace would be nice, but will settle for a healthy year.

[lentulus]

FPW (and perhaps related "Europeans shooting one another with rifles" wars) both grand tactical and 1:20 figure ratio will be the big one.  Tidying on my SYW, and several planned but never finished for my BKC forces like a cavalry regiment.

[Shecky]

My plans for 2011:

- Continue with my 10mm AWI Project. The latest Continental unit in hunting frock is based and once set will be ready for flocking.
I just finished cleaning and prepping a British Grenadier unit as well as the 6lbr artillery and crew as well as the British mounted commanders.

I hope to have enough units finished by next summer to run a few games at local game days and then at MillenniumCon next November.

- Dabble in 1:300 scale WWII air-to-air combat. Bu using prepainted planes I don't have to worry about taking time away from my other painting projects.

- Try to ignore 10mm FPW or any mid-19th century European conflict. I have an old army pack of 1860's Italians around here somewhere that I acquired but never painted for a campaign that never got off the ground. Maybe this time next year...

- Keep putting off my 10mm ACW project. For various reasons my big unpainted pile of ACW is a mish-mash of various manufacturers. I kind of put this on hold as I never really liked the figures that I had until my fairly local game store started stocking Pendraken. I just need to sell what I already have and then go strictly with Pendraken.

- play at least 1 historical miniatures game where I don't have to supply the figures, create the scenario and GM the game.

- Move from a "Cadet" poster to a proper officer!

- Finish at the top of the Pendraken Forum EPL fantasy league

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

1) Finish X Corp Prussians for 1870
1.5) Base up my 1815 15mm Anglo-Allied (to be done at same time as I base X Corp)
2) 1870 Wurttenburg Division
3) 15mm Napoleonics to be expanded to 'new rulesets'
4) Not sure...

[capthugeca]

To get rid of the last of my 15mm figures (except my HOTT armies)
To get rid of all my remaining 28mm figures.

To build up my 10mm fantasy collection for dungeon crawling and skirmishing.
Hopefully move into 10mm pulp.
Actually manage to get to at least one wargame show (probably Colours or Warfare)

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Finish my 10mm POles/KIslev and Ottomans, 15mm and 6mm Rennasiance, yet more 6mm tanks, may even get a 10mm WWII army, and maybe finish the 15mm moderns.

Cheers, drink too muchj and get very ill on FRiday night -

[Nosher]

Purely in 10mm I aim to complete my 100YW/WoR Collection and that Kallistra Castle I bought earlier this year.

Pendraken stuff (all of which I have the figures for but am steadily working on)
Saxons, Vikings and Normans
Medieval Scots, Welsh
TYW Swedes and Imperial Germans
ECW Royalist and Parliamentarian
Samurai

*Cough* :-[MM Minis :-[Cough (all of which I have the figures for but am steadily working on)
Crusader and Arabs
Byzantines, Rus and Carolingian Frankish

I have lodas more in 6mm through to 28mm, but will keep this one on topic!

[AndyT]

In 10mm I'd really like a late war BKC British army to go with my US and Germans but that will probably have to wait until I have birthday cash to spend in February.

My dungeon is still only at the undercoat stage and I really want to make progress but there are so many other things going on...

I'm playing in a 15mm HOTT competition on 9th January so I also need to get my army ready for that pretty soon !

Fun, fun, fun...

[Steve J]

- Complete my 28mm British Paras for RoE.
- Complete my 15mm Russians for BKCII.
- Complete a few WWI and early WWII tanks, armoured cars and AFVs in 10mm (all Pendraken) for use in AVBCW and also SCW.
- Add a few transports (and paint) for my 10mm SCW and WWII Italians.
- I've made a start on my 15mm Fallschirmjager for a mini-campaign at the club to introduce some members to BCKII. I hope to get them past the black undercoat stage before my mind wanders to other projects.....

After all of the above, I would like to do the following:
- Start a small force for a War of the Roses campaign at the club (I'll be Lancastrians) using the Pendraken packs as a starting point.
- make a start, at least, on my ACW Union and Confederate forces for use with BP.
- Make some progress on completing my early war Brits for use with BCKII.
- At least get a force for use with WMA.

Now, if any of the above get completed I will be a very happy man .

Finish my WSS - hence the order you just received.  Need 2 more artillery packs , plus one to chop to make hit markers, plus casualties and first fire markers (these final bits will allegedly be bought in January).

Rebase, then add to ACW, placing them all on 30mm bases and increasing density of the figures.

Get back to ECW to actually have two usable armies.

Alledgedly start 10mm Napoleonics with the new 2011 Ranges.

Add more Germans to my 20mm "TW&T" forces.
