1 – Get more gaming done
I will have had about 60 wargames in 2011 which is not bad and
my aim for 2012 is to get up to 70.
Although the majority will be at the Falkirk
club in Grangemouth I hope to get a few more games in some different/new
locations/opponents as well. I have
played wargames in 9 places in 2011 and the aim is 16 in 2012
60 again so no improvement but still not a bad years wargaming – only in 6 places though
2 – Get more painting done
600 figures/models table ready in 2012. Now that is a bit of a stretch
148 –
pretty pathetic really
3 – Progress my current projects
Impetus Tournaments – I have enjoyed the 2 competitions I
took part in 2011 – the target is 4 in 2012 plus a few one off games at the
club
Yes – played in 4 tournaments and enjoyed them all. Even Smoggycon where I achieved a perfect (or should that be imperfect) score of zero
Peloponnesian Wars – 25mm and micro naval – some more
battles fought
Henry VIII’s invasion of France in 1513 – in 28mm – more figures
painted and at least one battle
Scottish Renaissance battles (pre Civil War) in 25/28mm – probably
just painting but a battle would be good
No progress
RN Carrier Ops – in 1/300 – need to get some more planes
painted and find some rules – at least one game as well
Planes well on their way to being
painted (thanks Doug) and both Bag the Hun and Check Your 6 seem good
possibilities for rules
SF – 28mm - need to buy and paint and come up with a setting
– looking to use Tomorrows War to begin with and hopefully a couple of games at
least
No progress
Post WWI Baltic states / RCW – 28mm – not so much my project
but I want to get my figures onto the table
Played a
game
4 – Start a new project
It would be a boring year without a completely new project
Got some 28mm 1960’s British
figures for either Borneo or perhaps a fictional
Belize campaign
Lots of different periods and rules. I am hoping to have my first ever Piquet
game, shoot down some more US bombers with Purple Heart Valley, play Force on
Force, plus the odd game of FOG and Hail Ceaser. Also a game of WRG 6th – I have
played them every year since they came out in 1980 and I would hate to break
the sequence now! Perhaps a Napoleonic
game as well. A 15mm WSS game would be
good. Oh and at least a couple of games
of WHFB.
Played 22
different systems including almost all the above which is excellent
6 – Tidy the attic
That’s where all my wargames stuff is – it needs a good sort
– another target that is a bit of a stretch
I am not
very good at these stretch targets am I ?
7 - Start a blog
To record my games and progress on everything else
It has been
a bit patchy from time to time but enjoyable none the less.
8 – Review this list in December 2012
And be very pleased with how much I’ve got done
Real life
did get in the way a bit so not a bad result
9 – Stay married and keep my job
Looks like you've kept most of your goals! 60 games though? Good grief, I think I had around 15 if that!
