All,
Here's what I've been up to during my (so far) baby-induced 4 1/2 month exile. As always, I can't promise I'm back 100% (as a matter of fact, I can promise I'm not), but I can promise games are in my future (the table is already set up).
The big news is that I've been painting. A lot. And in a couple new scales. If you're here you're probably aware that I am pretty much exclusively a 10mm gamer. That's not going away by any means, but apparently I've become a 6mm Modern gamer, in a big way. It started about six months ago, when I bought a small force of GHQ minis for some Soviet-Afghan gaming, with plans to move into more stuff beyond that.
The next thing I knew, I was drowning in 6mm Modern stuff (NATO and Warsaw Pact equipment), the vast majority of it from fellas at TMP's Marketplace. I've also finished up/redone some 10mm Moderns, bought some 1/72 Vietnam plastics, and bought some 20mm WWII plastics.
About 2/3 of my 6mm stuff, the Warsaw Pact equipment.
I've painted up bunches of 6mm infantry.
10mm Russian/WarPac infantry.
10mm Modern USMC.
The table is set for a 6mm fight.
With hills UNDER the mat (I'm looking at you Panda, and Blue).
Please check the blog, where you'll find a total of 56 photos, thoughts on upcoming campaigns, and what I see as an absolutely necessary rules change for Mr. Ivan Sorenson's (AKA Weasel) otherwise fantastic rules, "No End in Sight."
