Mid Term Report Card

 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.

Figures Painted (approximate numbers)

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!

  1. 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.

  2. That's a decent total for 6 months and covers a few periods and scales.

  4. I’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.

    1. Excellent - 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!?)

  5. It's quite frightening when you add it all up, isn't it?

    1. It will never be as much as you Mark - you would have to take a three-month sabbatical in Europe for me to come close!

  7. Having 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,

  10. Very 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...

    1. Cheers 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....

  11. An 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 😀

  17. One day I shall return to such glorious numbers in my hobby!

    (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.
