After a lengthy interruption of Real Life Stuff (TM), I'm picking up my wargaming activities again.
I have to say the idea of doing a blog has been validated, as I did very much enjoy looking back over the battle accounts, triggering thoughts of what I might do next. If only I had done that years ago!
So what's new?
I'll need to get up to speed again with how to operate the blogger software. So nothing too ambitious right off the bat. Hopefully this post will turn out okay! And then more meaningful posts to follow...
There is a draft post, for a solo scenario I played in late 2020, looking at me reproachfully. I didn't get as far as writing the actual battle account, and it was a long game, so I'm not sure if I'll do that now. I do have the pictures and notes still, so maybe. But it seems more likely I will replay that scenario at some point.
My in-progress Chinese Northern Dynasties army is a little more in-progress now. A few more bases will give me a viable Mortem et Gloriam "Pacto" scale army, which is a place to be at, but there is a lot more painting ahead on this particular lead pile. And no I am not a quick painter.
And I have just started dipping my toe back into WW2, after many many many years of indifference to the period, with the new Divisions of Steel ruleset. These are at the right scale for me (fighting with a few companies per side, and 1:1 vehicle scale), with the right sort of level of complexity (I do like armour thicknesses and penetrations to be modelled in a not-totally-abstract fashion), and some for of alternate/interleaved activation for units.
This does unfortunately mean a whole new lead (or maybe plastic this time?) pile needs to be formed, as no matter how hard I search I am unable to locate my old WW2 toys, both 1/72 and 1/300 scale. What a shame 😉
