2d Quarter Totals: 3 games (all in person)
Some pretty solid achievements on the painting front there, Peter. US$700 for three months - yeah, that's probably a bit over my normal spending for that time frame. Good to get some games in but once per month is on the low side - must try harder :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty happy with one a month; 2/month is about the practical limit, at least until I retire, unless some of them are remote games.
DeleteThe Kickstarters have really added on this year - a few really great looking games, and Lucas' Rhine Confederation Napoleonics.
DeleteHave you had a chance to read the Black Seas rules yet Peter? I'd be interested in your comments if you have.
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't had a chance to read BS.
DeleteOK, well In read BS on social media all the time, but that's the wrong kind! :-)
I have maybe 5 Age of Sail rules waiting for a playtest now!
Hmmm, you did quite go to the afterburners with the painting. The Litko sales are always dangerous, but $100 on playing cards? Can't wait to see the Hessian contingent.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the cards were a bit over the top, but I got 2-4 decks each for Romans, Greeks/Successors, Wars of the Roses, Vikings, and Fantasy, plus a few more Generic decks for TTS! When I run convention games with 8 players a side, that uses 16 card decks! I also have to admit that I've liked card decks since I was a boy as well.
DeleteThe Hessians are out for delivery. They probably won't see paint until 2023, though. Once the Hessians are all delivered, Lucas will probably launch at least phase one of his Tyrolean revolt KS, which will include Bavarians, Tyrolese, and some Austrians, plus who knows what else!
DeleteGreat painting output, nog to big a spend and some great games, sounds like a result!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, iain. More than I wamntyed to spend, but I have no regrets about the Hessians. Now if they'd just come painted when they arrive! :-)
DeleteYes, then I imagine there will be trouble for all of us.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that the new figures have sturdier muskets and bayonets.
DeleteThat is a solid effort Peter, I have enjoyed seeing the Wars of the Roses figures in particular, and good to see a couple of people I know in the Tewkesbury photo as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Oli, glad you enjoyed them, and it's amazing that you know some of the folks in the picture!
DeleteAll those WoTR figures were just what was needed for our Test of Resolve games at Historicon
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed doing them quite a lot; I may add a few more in 2023; we'll see!
DeleteThose painting targets with those tremendous WoTR figures were really well done Peter.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carlo!
