'A Tale of Four Gamers'

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Get well soon.

[Leman]

Cheers Lem. Should be fighting fit for Vapnartak.

Two fantasy forces cleaned and assembled tonight, including one minor and one major conversion started. Aliens and their queen assembled too.
Three units of AWI British had their missing figures added. Generals assembled and wounded/damage markers also constructed. Gen. Washington also assembled.
Then spent a long time mucking about trying to decide how many figures to put into a unit for my next mega project. Think I might have found a workable answer.

Also watched the new version of 'The Sweeny', it was a bit good!

Hope you get better soon Leman. House nice and warm but family stuff getting in the way of things. Made a plan of stuff to paint between now and end of Febuary, which should be achievable . I'm finding that if I concentrate on one project, it really helps move things along. Hope it lasts .

Found some 8mm flat magnets at, of all places, one of my wife's dolls house conventions on Saturday. They fit between the tracks of the Hanomags quite neatly, grab on to strips of steel paper glued to the carrying box interior and add some much-needed weight to the models. 

[Leman]

Well the antibiotics have kicked in and abdominal discomfort now gone so able to start painting again. Yes, The Sweeney was a good watch. Was there ever a follow up? I'd like to see the IA bloke get his come uppance.

Finished of another squadron of Shermans this evening that have been 'in progress' for at least 6 months or more . Really nice feeling to have them finished, all bar the lacquering that will be done tomorrow once everything is nice and dry. Then some Minibits transfers and local lacquering of these and their done .

Taped the Sweeny...haven't got round to watching it yet. Remember the original series, loved the gallows style humour in it. The films were a bit of a let down apart from the catch phrase 'Get me Mr Johnson' -a pseudonym for a hitman.

'Get me Mr Johnson' -a pseudonym for a hitman.

Perfect for me . I'll just have to work out my fees... .

[Techno]

Hope you feel better soon. Bob !
Cheers - Phil.

[Leman]

Thanks Phil. Had to cancel a game early last week but should be able to do it tomorrow now. First go at Napoleonic Command and Colours.

[Steve J]

Shermans all lacquered. Basecoated and washed some Universal Carriers and Wasp carriers that have been on the table for the same length of time as the Shermans . Nice to see them finally getting some paint applied .

[Leman]

I have been a totally lazy git this evening. Really sad to see the demise of Lilly Bell at the end of Hell on Wheels. Anyone know if there's a third series?

[Hertsblue]

Just begun the preparation of A. Kropotov's Russian horse grenadier regiment for the GNW. As far as I know, a totally unique Pendraken wargames unit (so far). 

[Leman]

Also Volontaires d'Ouest in the French 1870 range. As far as I can make out never more than a few hundred took part in the campaigns of the Army of the Loire, but they were one of the better units in that army. Consequently it is impossible to represent that army without them.

[Steve J]

Finished my British Carrier platoon last night. Not sure what to go on to next, but probably some Churchills and AVREs to flesh out existing units.

[Leman]

Back to my Prussians, but at least I caught up with one of my wargame buddies I hadn't seen since before Christmas. Two games of Napoleonic Commands and Colours ensued.

Let's hope so - otherwise I'm going to have an embarrassing delay in updating this thread, eh Will?!
