Half year progress report

A half year has flown by and it's time to review my progress against my plans. Overall I've made good progress with 917 items completed.

Painting/Modelling (all moderate sized projects)

• Terrain - only a few bits needed like new hedges are needed, but I'm tempted to produce some proper winter terrain to go with my figures - still not worked on the hedges, but the winter terrain has been a major effort. The winter hedges have confirmed the approach I'm going to use for my "summer" ones.
• Saracen cavalry and a few more archers (cf 2015) - completed
• Crusader cavalry (cf 2015) - completed
• HYW/WOTR English add some cavalry and a few more infantry (cf 2015) - completed
• Five Ancient German Warbands (18 strong) (cf 2015) - not yet started
• Some Assorted Ancient Light Troops to fill in various gaps in my armies (cf 2015) - not yet started
• Russian Partisans (cf 2015) - completed
• Upgrade my WW1 East African Germans with the new HaT figures (cf 2015) - really must do this! - These have just landed on the painting table
• Some extra Russians and Romanians for my WW2 winter games - completed
• More woodland Indians so I can fight more French & Indian War games - not yet started
• Plus a number of bits to fill in gaps in existing armies

Gaming

• It looks like I won't need to produce anything for this years big game and my Lentini terrain will get another outing
- Have replayed Lentini at Bristol, unfortunately the big game was cancelled and I replayed a bigger version of Stalingrad instead.
• One of the days at Gauntlet will be a Korsun pocket game, so I may need some terrain for this.
- Gauntlet is just about to happen and this has been a major focus for the last couple of months
• I'll also try and organise a big SYW game for one of the Deeside Defenders gaming weekends
- still to do, I'm wavering between rule sets - Honours of War, Black Powder or upgrading my own set.

Breakdown of painting/modelling completed
Well I've achieved 917 items so far, which is a reasonably total for half way through the year, broken down as follows

Medieval	419
Terrain	230
WW2	203
WW1	52
SYW	12
Revolution	1

Finally Stash reduction?
Down from 7,420 to 7,061, so moving in the right direction, although investing in the Plastic Soldier Kickstarter may push me a bit off track. If I can sell some stuff at Gauntlet it would help.
