Whist flicking a lick of paint over a Centurion AVRE, I pondered that I have an order of preference in painting.

1) Vehicles
2) Terrain & scenice.
3) Artillery
4) Infantry
5) Cavalry

Furthermore, I get much more enjoyment out of researching and reading, painting and modelling that I do from rule sets and ... playing. Especially with other people.

Do you think I should be a railway enthusiast instead of a wargamer?

Trainspotter

Be bold, be both.

I thought you got lots of dubious pleasure "playing" with Miss Whiplash 

My preference in painting is  is

1 Vehicles
2 Artillery
3 Terrain
4 Infantry
5 Basing
6 Licking my brush when it has "Magic Wash" on it
7 Digging my finger with a scalpel
9 Cavalry

I only paint because I have to. I'm a gamer.

In keeping with my preferences, this weekend I have assembled/painted

20' fencing
12" barbed wire entanglements
16 shell hole
16 haystacks
7 bunkers
20 sheep
10 cows

and 5 Centurion specialist vehicles (2xARV, 2xAVRE, 1 xBridgelayer.)

All in all, a good weekend. 

Well done, that man

Thank you. Most productive weekend I've had in ages.

I get laughed at at club when I put Cows and horses in the fields.  Ian at club has 20mm Ducks swimming on  the rivers in his scenarios.

The ducks aint armoured is they ? Bout time Phil made dem me tinks.

My livestock tend to be the objective of some raid or another.

Though I do remember a game I played in which a very hungry English army was caught unprepared by the naughty French who left lifestock to bait them.

Often the center of the fighting I set in both Scotland and Ireland. Quite partial to the "Cattle Raid of Cooley" and that sort of thing.

See you on Friday.

Playing Doctors and Nurses at the hospital, tomorrow, for a 'pre-op' check up. 

Cheers - Phil

May it go well, Phil.

Hope all goes well
