I have a lot of ECW awaiting paint. Purps, I think this should be the Ayton ‘20 plan

I thought that at one stage and used 6mm, eventually gave it up. I think platoon level is where I’d aim at

i've got the mud and blood rules which are for c. 30 - 120 figures (from memory). So whatever i did would be based around this. Of course i'd then have to choose the theatre. 1914, Verdun or Eastern Front or near east - so many choices!

Ayton 21 You mean, don’t try to be skipping the 18th century like a hooligan.

Oh I also will be doing WAT but that’s just a tank in it.
Not really counting as a side project.

They are good. There’s also WW1 CoC. I’m traditional and boring, I’d do early War Western Front.

Mud and blood?

I would go ITLSU for the middle east. Also you get to fight campaigns with email messages saying Ï am going to advance on Damascus and then go on to Alleppo, signed Allah'n'bey. What's not to like?

I’ll be continuing the SYW Russian and Austrian project as usual. I was going to start 28mm ECW but actually, it’s all these ‘side projects’ which stall you from getting anywhere, so I’m going to hold off until I have a force big enough to take on my Prussians.
Saying that, I will be doing a couple 1/1200 ships and probably best bring some shiny 19th century Prussians for Goat Shine Olympics.

Things I own;

Foundry Russian Hussar Battalion (Why in gods fuck do I keep buying Hussars!!)
That’s it really. I don’t buy much ahead.

Things I don’t own but omelette this year;

Russian Cossack Cavalry,
Prussian Dragoon Regiment
2x Russian Observation battalions.
More German support options for CoC
Start 20mm Blenheim OOB brigades...
