Not as flash as Jon at PWJ or Mark at 1866 and All That - but here is a count of what I have "achieved" thus far in the hobby year.

120 x 15 mm WWII British infantry
4 x 15mm WWII 25lb guns and crew, plus command, observers and a Bren Gun Carrier
38 x 28mm Napoleonic Cavalry
24 x 28mm GNW Russian Cavalry
72 x 28mm GNW Russian Infantry
22 x 28mm ECW Infantry
60 x 20mm SCW Infantry
10 x 20mm Civilians
10 x 20mm Chetniks
5 x 28mm Last of the Mohicans Characters
6 x 20mm Vehicles
SCW Trench System and Buildings (scratch built)
As for games played, here they are:
WWII, Solo SCW, WWII x 2, ACW x 2, SCW, ACW, Beneath Lilly Banners Solo x 3. Peninsula. War of 1812 solo, NWF Colonial, Wild West skirmish, SCW, Crimean War.
With our mate Julian back in country after a 6–8-week sojourn in Europe, gaming should hopefully increase again - two games are planned over three days this weekend - Friday at Julian's and Sunday at Barry's - which I am really looking forward to.
Next post will likely be Saturday with an AAR on the Friday night game - I love it when a plan comes together!
Sorry, no pics tonight, I don't do pie charts or graphs via XL!
Thanks for your visit and if you feel sufficiently moved by these lists, please do leave your feedback!
A goodly sum with a good variety of both painted and played - I don’t remember the Napoleonic Cavalry, so will dip back into that now.
ReplyDeleteYou had me worried there for a moment Norm - had to go and double check myself....but here are the first of them...phew! http://1808534.blogspot.com/2023/01/2eme-regiment-de-chevau-legere-lanciers.html
DeleteJanuary … I have the smallest of excuses :-) very nice of course.
DeleteThat's a decent total for 6 months and covers a few periods and scales.
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty - I had forgotten I did some of these so recently, once I went back over the blog to do a rough count!
DeleteA very well done amount of painting done! And a great variety of periods played too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark, I was quietly satisfied with the totals!
DeleteI’m hanging my head in shame. Man I wish I could produce that quantity and quality of miniatures in the same time frame. Well done mate.
ReplyDeleteExcellent - that was exactly the sort of inner torment I was hoping to engender, JBM - its called "tough motivation" - I am sure you remember it from your days in the TA! (I am joking, of course........or, am I!?)
DeleteIt's quite frightening when you add it all up, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt will never be as much as you Mark - you would have to take a three-month sabbatical in Europe for me to come close!
DeleteSuper productivity, Keith! Perhaps not as “flash” but the numbers speak for themselves. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon, praise indeed from "the master"!
DeleteHaving watched all the toys come out in your blog, not surprised as the quality but seeing it listed all at once does put you in the league with Mark and Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joe...you put me in illustrious company indeed!
DeleteWhen you put it all together like that it looks like a good productive 6 months! Well done. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew...I almost impressed myself with the numbers!
DeleteWe can't compare ourselves to those other maniacs (you know whom I mean). It is impressive
DeleteI do indeed!
DeleteSuch an impressive list of works completed in a year is respectful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Valentine.
DeleteVery impressive mix and range of figures painted as well as games played. The less said about my efforts so far this year the better, but things are beginning to pick up...
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve....you have been hors de combat for a while with a nearly amputated finger, so you have a good excuse for a lower productivity count! Looking forward to seeing you pick up the pace again....
DeleteAn impressive tally Keith……..as I have told Jon I don’t really keep records, of course I would be more productive if I took less holidays 😀
ReplyDeleteWell done. I wish I was even close to that.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Richard...perhaps you have a more exciting life outside work than I do?! 😀
DeleteA great result Keith, underlined by a lot of variety in there.
ReplyDeleteCheers Lawrence....into a bit of a slog with the GNW Russians now...thank goodness they have some variety in their uniforms!
DeleteAn interesting mixture you have there with your 'Painted List'. There are a number of scales your working in Keith- which is your Favorite Collection? Best Wishes. KEV.
ReplyDeleteHard to say Kev....like picking a favourite child! Probably, it's whatever I am working on, at the time.
DeleteGood luck with such impressive plan list!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteVery impressive, I forgot about the scratch built trenches, something to go back to when I start building trenches!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain...I was pretty happy with how those turned out, to be fair!
DeleteOne day I shall return to such glorious numbers in my hobby!
ReplyDelete(Okay... that was a fib, I've NEVER been as productive as you or Jon for that matter, even when I had more time.)
An impressive tally though Keith and very fun to follow along with here. Let's see some more so your year's end totals can make a grown man cry.
Lol...that's how I feel about Jon and Mark, Dai....although, not really...output is what it is, some weeks I do nothing at all...it's a hobby and supposed to be fun after all!
DeleteVery impressive productivity, Keith!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Peter!
