Quick half year review

Yes, over half the year has passed by already, so I thought I'd better do a quick progress check

Major Projects (at least 100 figures, month or more in effort)

• I’ve committed to produce the terrain for one of the tables for this year’s big game, which covers the Allied landings in Sicily 1943. This will mean quite a lot of terrain construction, but at least I can still use the buildings from the SOTCW Achse & Avalanche game from 2009
Completed, but it was quite a lot of work
• Axis winter forces – German/Italian/Hungarian (from 2014 plan)
Nearly completed, but I keep adding extra bits to the force
• Finish the Jacobites, by adding French and Lowland units (from 2014 plan)
Not yet started

Minor Projects (in no particular order)

• Saracen cavalry and a few more archers
Not yet started
• Crusader cavalry
Not yet started
• HYW/WOTR English add some cavalry and a few more infantry
Not yet started
• Cossacks – expand the force mixing in some Wallachians (Lucky Toys Vlad Tepes set) to add some variety
Not yet started
• Ancient German Warbands
Not yet started
• Some Assorted Ancient Light Troops to fill in various gaps in my armies
Not yet started
• Russian Partisans
Not yet started
• Carried over from 2014 is a British Desert Motor Battalion, plus transport and an Infantry battalion
Completed
• Upgrade my WW1 East African Germans with the new HaT figures
Not yet started

Other activities

• Refight Ligny from 1815 (everyone else is doing Waterloo)
It's happening this weekend
• The stash is still far too big; I want to get it down from six storage boxes to five by the time we move. In line with this, I plan to complete as many plastic kits as possible, there are over 40 there at present so completing these should free up one box at least.
I thought it was reducing, but I filled it up again when Plastic Soldier Company had a sale
• Continue the attempt No new armies until after we move – will be quite difficult to achieve if plastic figure manufacturers bring out something tempting.
So far so good
