"And what happens to the pup, while you're doing that Gordon ?"

Well, she has her own account of course, but then she's stupid, she plays Alliance! 

Complete the 2nd Division of my Prussian 1866 I Army Corps. (1st Division and reserve cavalry brigade complete)

Finish Austrian infantry brigade Kreysern (Fragnern brigade, Schindlocker cavalry brigade and Saxon division complete)

Contemplating adding a Bavarian division (Got a feeling the Confederation are going to need 'em)

Add more WW2 Japanese infantry (They do seem to get through them quickly!)

Next big project - Kursk (or at least, part of it) 

AMAZING news... for me anyway ^^. Just needed to share. The move to Bantry complete; my D&D room sorted, all my unused stuff in the attic, I suddenly had this sinking feeling as I thought for a while I`d accidentally put all my unpainted 10mm goodies in the attic, buried under a ton of other things... only to discover that the v-e-r-y last box I unwrapped (under everything else of course) contained all my shiny new packets of Pendraken loveliness.

So my projects for this year now include painting a complete Undead army with Vampire coach and retinue as my prize project (looking forward to that one). My beggar army, Trolls, Monsters, and various other bits and bobs. My sci-fi project arrived safe and sound and sits patiently in line for me to pick up from their initial undercoating... and I am now arranging my paints, brushes and various modelling assortments in position for the big push. Sadly, my 10mm English Civil War Royalist, Parliamentarian, and Scots Armies have gone missing, and I can only assume they got lost in the attic somewhere (noooooooooo).

Funny story, in brief: when the household contents were placed in the removal lorry, one of the very last things to get placed in the truck was all my 10mm things. I was not happy how the man had placed the big heavy box and told him so. He replied that it would be fine (famous last words). When we arrived, of course the box was upside down and as he picked it up… me almost in slow motion like in a movie, called Nooooooooooooo, but too late, he picked it up and....... the entire contents spilled out onto the floor of the lorry, some on the floor, some fell amongst other boxes, some fell into boxes and the noise of the rattling pieces seemed to go on and on forever in my head. Needless to say, I nearly cried. To make it worse, the man proceeded to step amongst the mass of metal (stamping many pieces underfoot) and began scooping the figures up in piles and CHUCKED them back into the (by now) upright box. Amazingly, there were hardly any breakages... a few figures bent flat on their bases, but all are fixable. EXCEPT for my lovely 10mm trees. These little buggers had taken me simply a-g-e-s to mount individually on their bases, and almost half of them now need re-fixing on their mounts.... uuuugh  that’s a day’s work to be sure grrrrrrr.

I get the feeling the removals man was not a wargamer :-(

Six :-)

I'd have kicked his arse from her to leeds and back just for the sheer pleasure of it.

Seriously if some arsehole had done that to prized possesions be they wargames kit or a favourite family photo and showed that kind of contempt I'd have made it a personal mission to ensure he didn't have a job the following day.

Nosher mate...  I felt like it  


To make it worse, he vanished for five hours (went home for his tea would you believe) before he turned up at the new home - just before dusk. By this time I was so relieved, and so knackered, I just wanted to get it over and done with like a bad nightmare; so was in no mood for teaching him some manners    

Besides... he was cheap    


.... guess I know why now.

Oh yeah, and my 10mm Austrain 1866 army is over three-quarters done, just basing the second batch and starting last cavalry units and guns  

Austrian - I meant SAXON! D'oh!

  <-----   happy dance.

I found my (unpainted, still new and shiny in their packets) 10mm Pendraken English Civil War minis pushed tight  under the bed in a box... I must have put them there the day I moved into the new house. Also, I found in the box all my miniature houses; I hadn`t even noticed they were missing until then. So a happy day all round
