Title: What was, is or will be your first wargames purchase in 2011?
Post by: Nosher on 03 January 2011, 06:16:56 PM
Mine was the FoG Renaissance Clash of Empires on pre-order so i can build a Polish Army with those lovely winged hussars in 10mm.

No doubt this will be followed by the minis from PD ;)

I'm ashamed to say that I'm not planning on buying anything for some time as I'm attempting to plough through my large lead pile due to on-going or soon to start campaigns at the club. However, I will need a few paints soon, so that probably counts.

I bought Black Powder on Saturday at my FLGS and then bought 1870 this weekend online.

Bag of US airborne officers (not the strolling type) to add some variety, bag of every type except the rifle one of the US d-day airborne with the helm camo for more variety, two packs of US airborne casualty units - coz the one I got after crisis are regular US, and a few more US tanks (two each of M4A3E2(76), M10, M18) to complete my initial set up, 20 white 7 mm dice, 20 red, 20 yellow or green or orange, 20 black.

There, that's my first order for 2011, now just send me the paypal invoice ;D

Bought the LOTR rule book yesterday as it was half price in Hobbycraft. That will probably be it until Cavalier in February as I seriously need to reduce the leadpile although painting supplies will always be an option.

Mine will be February and 10mm FPW - it will be all the artilley and limbers for the 1870 Wurttenburg Division, only 9 batteries (18 guns, of which I have 8) and they are described as 'half-horse' batteries , so limbers needed!

Probably BLB2 or the League of Augsburg range, whichever comes first.

I bought 180 WSS infantry in the early hours of 30 Dec, thinking it was the early hours of 31st, thus payday.  They arrived today - does that count?

Otherwise either more WSS, Vietnam (both 10mm) or 20-30 20mm Late WW2 Germans.

ordered the 1000pts HYW English to go with my other 1000pts HYW English I already had. Love it when you can buy one thing and double your army :)

Vehicles and figures for my Afrika Korps Regiment. I will substitute the Panzer III J in place of the G as the differences are negligible at 10mm.

I haven't spent any money yet - waiting until my wife's not looking.  :d

But intend to get some 10mm buildings from Total Battle Miniatures, Tales of Blades and Heroes from Ganesha Games when it is published and, of course, lots more Pendraken figures........before the VAT goes on them.  :D

Not counting a mountain of 10mm Pendraken Scenery on its way to me now..... All Things Zombie - The Boardgame! I`ve always been a zombie movie, book and game buff, even wrote a zombie novel a few years back.

But the rest of the year, I will be purchasng 10mm stuff from here exclusively; probably Renaissance and a bit more Fantasy :-)

Probably be lots of scenery as I'm concentrating on getting my unpainted minis reduced in number before I buy any more.

Maybe some odds and ends of 28mm medieval/feudal figures for my first miniatures and at some point some 10mm SCW.

Well, my first has passed the "will be" stage.  Yes, more FPW.  Lots of Prussians, guns of both flavors, and some French imperial guard.

I'm doing well...so far: I've bought nothing! My NY resolution was to avoid impulse-buying, plan my purchases and then finance them from selling surplus...seeing as how I've not got round to deciding what to flog, I've not bought anything yet...although I am keen to avoid the VAT increase, so will be sorting out more redundant gaming stuff over the weekend to fund the next stage of my addiction  :d

Anyone need some 6mm moderns or some 40k armies...or some 28mm moderns...or a load of RPG / D&D stuff?  :)
