Bear with...

....normal service will be resumed just as soon as this irritating thing called "life" gets out of the way and gives me a breather...

...so (and my English teacher told me never to start a sentence with so, but so what.. 😏) stay tuned for ....

• the 13th Indiana are painted and ready to join the Union ranks - also spray coated - just need to base them and terrain the bases... oh, and tidy up the unit history to go with the post..

• not knowing what has come over me the dhow has also received successive dry brushes of dustier and dustier brown - next step the boom and sail (lateen) and some minimal/basic rigging before it joins the forces of the Mhadi - almost 12 months after the last post [clicky].. 

• I have also completed my first draft of the English Civil War rules I'll use - I gave up trying to find a commercial set, and have adapted the Will McNally SYW rules (that were also adapted/used for WSS) - they work for me and so I'm not going to lose any sleep over "trying something new"...  either way, with a basing decision made it's time to start thinking about purchasing some little metal men!

Proposed basing for the new ECW project... mass is for militia/clubmen/highlanders... for "hedgehog" read stand of foot preparing to 'receive horse'... horse will deploy in line or column - two figures per base, four bases per unit

DG and I have played the Late Arrivals scenario from One Hour Wargames almost twice now - the second game is on turn 9 (out of 15) - two very different games I think it safe to say! I'll put together a post on it soon...

Laters..  life is calling... 😏
