Title: On to Khartoum
Post by: FierceKitty on 04 August 2012, 04:27:53 PM
Well, I've just painted 'em, all but the Fuzzy-Wuzzy camelry that we're waiting for so eagerly. Tomorrow sees whether the Anglo-Egyptians and the Mahdists are reasonably matched, or if I need to buy another dozen packs to balance the armies.
And then, time to begin painting Zulus. Is there no end to it?

If you're referring to the madness that is 'the next purchase/unit on the painting table' then I'm very much afraid not ;D ;D ;D

Its a well known fact that wargamers without their own personal body weight in lead 'still' to paint are dead ;)

It's like chess - you have to be thinking four or five moves ahead. Well, that's my rational anyway.  :)

Chess isn't like that. In chess you have to think back to the twenty thousand odd matches which you studied, so you don't have to think ahead until your opponent makes an interesting move. In other words: a mistake.

Like your thinking Aart. That's the way to play  ;D
