A day at Colours
I escaped from the family for the day and spent the day at Colours in Newbury. I must admit that I was not impressed, the trader floor was gloomy and there were very few games of interest. The mitigating factor was the opportunity to meet up with quite a few friends I hadn't seen in a while.
Some bits I thought worth photographing
The most impressive was this War of Italian Unification game, the fortified town was lovely

I didn't spend much, just some paint, a pack of the Plastic Soldier German armoured cars, a few discounted Ready to Roll vehicles and the General d'Armee rules.

Back to the snow - US Infantry

On the Workbench - September 2017
Now for a change from doing all that Thirty Years War stuff - I'm keeping the quantity down as I'll be travelling quite a bit this month. Hopefully I'll get to Colors at Newbury.
- Three Russian Streltsy regiments 24 figures strong - these are made up of all the Strelets bonus figures I have collected over the years (helped by a generous contribution from Peter W)
- Some US infantry for the Ardennes.
- Vikings - a small force assembled from a packet of Zvezda Vikings to add to my Normans and Saxons
- Continuing to plan the Renaissance Galleys - I still can't work our the best way to scratch build them.

Morris CDSW
It's taken a long time to complete these. Although based on the same vehicle as the Morris in the Airfix Bofors kit, it took a lot of investigation to find the exact configuration. After a couple of attempts I came up with fudging two vehicles to tow my BEF 18/25 pdrs.

In the background is another spare Bofors tractor (thanks Dennis) I now need a BEF Bofors to go with it. I'll probably get the Zvezda version that has BEF crew.
