That was the year that was... 2011

Happy New Year!

...and so another year disappears down the pan... 😏

It seems de rigeur among the wargaming bloggerati to put up some kind of view of how 2011 was, and what your plans are for 2012, so why on earth should I want to buck the trend...??

I've got to say it wasn't a stand out year... painting totals for the year turned out at 223 [click here], but most of that was the WWII re-basing project so the number of new units joining the ranks was low - I stand in awe of the output of some of my fellow bloggers (they know who they are) but my favourite new unit this year was the Tigers [click here]

Ninety three posts this year (c/w 81 in '10) so that was pretty good (in fact I'm a bit surprised I was so prolific - it didn't seem like it!)

Only four table top games all year (pitiful) - but two massive virtual games that DG and I have been playing all year (Rogersburg and Waynes Junction)

• Sawmill Village [click here] - Marlburian - and a massive lose to DG..
• Retreat to the Coast - Colonial - solo (so I won.. 😁)
• Action in the Plattville Valley the 1st John Corrigan Memorial game - AWI - a win to me in this one...
• Holding Position - more Marlburian & a narrow win...

Three brilliant shows though - Salute, Colours and Warfare - some fantastic books read, got to see the Mechanics again (brilliant night - Dad-dancing to the fore!), a fine holiday, and some good sailing [click here] made 2011 an overall good'un...

I don't make New Years resolutions - what I'd like to do is a little more painting, and a few more table top games than last year......  I'd be happy with that!

All the best to you and yours for 2012....!
