I hope it wasn't you that won as they went for more than the cost of the magazine.

Nope, and another one went for a tenner this morning. Crazy.

Now I'm sober and can talk about stuff more interesting than roads...

Just ordered SAGA Hannibal - always have a weakness for Punics.

OK, not that much more interesting... but the figures look nice.

Spent a miserable hour and a half cleaning up and assembling the last unit of Hanibal's Veterans! God knows, I HATE multipart figures! But, they are spray undercoated now! Time for a cold beer I think...🍺

On the first day they were available for sale, some of the the new Jacklex 20mm French Intervention in Mexico range.

I’m mainly interested in the French figures and what else I could use them for.

Instead of buying big armies straight off I decided to buy cadres (6 foot or 3 mounted) for units and paint them up; then if I want more I’ll just expand them into full (24 foot or 12 mounted) units.

I’ve been intrigued by the prospect of these for a while so I’m looking forward to them turning up.

You are a complete and utter Git, Clive.

More Victrix plastics. Iberian Cavalry and Balearic slingers. I may need to expand storage to another 4 litre box.

And not a new purchase, but in re-organising the shed, I discovered a box with about 70 plastic Napoelonic cavalry assembled and horses base-coated. I'm pretending they aren't there. In fact, I'm considering sorting out enough to do two small Sharp Practice forces and flogging the rest. There's thousands of the buggers I'm never going to paint.
