The Loose Association of Wargamers

It always amazes me the amount of stuff you guys have got through over the years.
And wargames projects! #lol

We must be due a classic list thread!

The Loose Ass Done it, Begun it, Fuck it, Bucket list!

Projects you’ve completed in your lifetime...
Projects you’ve started...
Projects you’ve abandoned...
Projects you WILL do...

If anything this could just work out as Brain Training. All those memories will hold back your senality for another week or so.

I imagine that between you, you’ve covered every conflict since primordial man and that’s just LT!
The covering, not the man. Er.

Is he saying that we're old?

Until I discovered grills I was a consummate converter and scratch builder, from then, completed projects:
HO/OO Wellingtonics - some 1000 figures
HO/OO ACW - over 1000 figs
HO/OO WWII - In Bns Brits/Germans/8th Army/Afrika Korps/Americans/Russians and loads of tanks and guns and things
HO/OO WWI - about 500 Brits and Germans
HO/OO Pranco Frussian war Huns and Frogs
HO/OO Boors and Brits
HO/OO Zulus and the same brits
WWII 1:1200 scratch built and Hun ships - the german fleet and abvout twice as many brits
WWI 1:1200 scratch built brits and huns
WWI, II and III planes, mobs of them.
Some attempts at mediaeval wsith Airfix Shrrif of Nottingham, Robin Hood and Arabs
25mm Minifigs fantasy 400 odd figs
Then I did H&R 1:300 Cold war gone hot in 1980

Then I discovered grills
Then I discovered Papua New guinea
Then I discovered South America
Then I set up a business and a place of permanent abode

I planned 1:300 WWII, Wellingtonics, Pranco Frussian, modern, Marlburian
and 1:3000 WWII Brit, German, Italian, Jap, French, and some Americans and Nelsonics and WWI Brit, Hun, Italian, Ostrichan

So, I built 1:3000 Brit and Hun WWII, 1:300 Chilean war of Independence (1000 figs)

And I bought 1:300 WWII NWE Brits and huns Inf and armoured divs and a dozen aircraft for each side; 1:3000 WWII Ities and Brits; 1:3000 Nelsonics;


And I continue to plan:
1:300 Guerra del Pacifico; 1:3000 GDP naval
Finish off the WWII Eyetie fleet, match it with more brits and then Froggies and japs, then some token yanks
1:300 Boneyonics, Pranco Frussian, Afro Praustrian and rice orgies;
Do my 1:300 WWII NWE and simiar US;
Western desert forces
Falklands
More CW gone hot
Lots of air wargames
Something in 1:300 18th C
Chilean colonial.

That’s not fair, I’ve never done the Stone Age!

There's an outfit that does Melanesians. I could give you rules with a chance card involving "White geologist shows up, stop fighting to make five bucks a day"or "Jungle juice matures, everyone fights without morale rolls but less effectively", be great!

There's plenty of time.

Done (or as near as dammit)
With 3 large 5mm Napoleoni armies, over 40 large 6mm armies (without any proxies), 6 10mm armies, same number in 15mm including 3 Prussian Napoleonic brigades organised 30 figs ber battalion and 2 25/28 mm armies all completed, you'd have thought that there's not much else but...read on

To do
I have a freestanding plastic four draw rack with one draw per scale. 25/28 nearly empty, 15 and 10mm half full but the 6mm is overflowing!

I don't really abandon projects, they just get put aside for an indeterminate time until I get interested enough to start on tyhem again.

What I will do? No idea

Define "Project"......?

A Project is a temporary organization that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed Business Case. It will have a defined project plan for delivery, formal change and configuration management processes, a sensible* risk register and a clear statement of which 2 of the 3 major outcomes (cost, quality, timescale) are critical to the result.

Unless the word ‘project’ is preceded by the word ‘wargame’ in which case the definition is ‘oh, shiny’.

*do you hear that Keith? sensible that’s the key word.

And a Project has to have a beginning, middle and end.

I am not sure I have ever got to the end of one of my projects with many not even getting past the middle.

I dont having problem starting a new project though.
