Well I have to do the flags for my ACW units from vintage figures.

Then I have five mounted figures to complete my S Range and Lamming rocket corps.

Then I have to finish some strange Hinton Hunt based 20mm 1880s Egyptian Army.

Then I have a regiment of Miniature Figurines British SYW to complete.

I also have loads of S Range French in Egypt and Jacobite Rebellion which I suspect are in the queue before the FPW, thigh the book may inspire me to move some at least of them up.

But then I’ve got loads of vintage Hinton Hunt Napoleonic British which may just need a bit of a refurb and rebasing, and my HH/Les Higgins ECW armies to do as well. At the moment I’m going for doing things in big chunks rather than the odd unit here and there, though I might have a go at more rotation.

But if I want to have a go at the FPW at least I have the book ready.

....and your point is?

[Vintage Wargaming]

That they’re in the queue but a long way from the front of it

If you have them in 6mm no-one needs uniform books as you cant tell...

Piss-poor trolling attempt. Must try harder.

It's the little things that can sway a purchase, I'm looking at an expansion for Dust Tactics. I don't play the game so the rules will go in the bin. It has some 2D card tile terrain that could be useful in solo games even if it isn't eye candy. There are 3 figures which I can probably use but the real clincher is the livestock, 2 cattle and a goat.

Let me guess - they're lifesize?

Bought & just arrived by the oh-so-slow post: some Tumbling Dice Covenanters.
A gun & crew & a bunch of Highland crazies: both to bring existing BGs up to strength.

That’ll bring the Covenant army up to 1041 points & 18 BGs (though you can fudge, to a degree, both sets of figures)….& which, sadly, is enough for any sane person (cue: smart alec remarks). As much as I like painting the TD figures, I think I know to stop here.

As I’ve run out of SYW figures, I'll prep these tonight & start painting tomorrow night.

No, but the price probably is.

Well I had a bit of time off to buy some lovely TBM buildings and village-tiles, but now it's back to normal: Same as every month, Pinky: Buy shitloads of AB Napoleonics and try to take over the world.
