Following my plans for 2013, posted yesterday, here are my resolutions:-
- I shall complete, play test and publish (probably on-line) the Ancients rule set I’ve been developing
- I shall finish my Ptolemaic phalanx for the game at Partizan; ten units of 48 phalangites, one of 48 agema and peltasts, and 3 dozen Cretan archers. At the time of writing I do not have a single, complete unit, although I have around 120 figures painted. To achieve this, within the timescale, I recognise that I will need to get a couple of hundred part-painted for me... and also the cavalry and nellies
- I’ll buy the parts and paint the cloth for a deeper wargames table, probably 160cm (4’8””), which is about the widest table that my lounge can take, whilst simultaneously accommodating half a dozen gamers with expanding waistlines
- Finally, I’ll improve on my woeful record of local gaming, and get some decent games under my belt, at least one every other week
That's quite a list, Simon, especially the Ptolemaics. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that list Simon, especially the mega-phalanx!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I'll do gaming resolutions for next year, or just come up with a list of stuff that I'd like to do.
Enjoying the blog as always!
Cheers
Matt
