What!! 25% of the year gone already

Time seems to have flown by and I haven't really made any impression on the theme of the year, which is desert forces, but I do have excuses.

• I don't know what side I'll be fighting in the big Alamein game yet - hopefully I find out soon
• No one at shows has had the new Strelets Napoleon in Egypt figures - guess I'll have to order on-line.
• I keep changing my mind on how to use the Hat Sudanese and whether I should mix them in with my existing figures, buy more Waterloo Dervishes or just use them as is.
• and I got distracted by the tank riders and Russian 85mm AA guns

But I've made substantial progress on finishing off the British paratroops started last year - I only need to sort out the artillery now. Overall progress to date 365 items, which is only just below target of 375.
