An update on lots of stuff……

Quiet on the gaming front at the moment with a couple of games postponed due to seasonal colds and illness. I’m just back from another week helping to decorate my son’s house in London. But I have kept busy on a number of hobby fronts.

I’ve managed to maintain the enthusiasm for painting the ECW project. A couple more infantry units 

A first unit of dragoons, mounted in a slightly more open formation

A couple of brigade commanders just to try them out on their round bases

I decided to blitz some cavalry

The second infantry unit completed this morning.

The hobby fund had a small financial windfall a few weeks ago  so I was encouraged to spend it before it was lost to the taxman.

I picked these up off eBay, they are hand made but to a very high standard and match extremely well my current Mediterranean buildings so provide a nice little extension to the building collection.

I have also been pondering updating my ‘roads’ for a while and after lots of consideration I ordered a large amount of flexible roads off eBay (fatfranks) which I’m sure a number of you already have. Specifically this allows me to run roads over my hills and create more interesting roads networks, they are pretty generic so will work in a wide range of periods and scales. I should have enough for bigger games in the shed as well.

Finally before I picked up my current cold ! I managed a walk out into the Fells, we were treated to a lovely days walking

The  beauty of the Lakes in Autumn 

Thats it for now not sure when the next game is planned as I need to get over this cold,  but I well enough to paint so will carry on…..

Thanks for getting this far 🤧♥️ Matt
