2020Q3 - Progress against plan

Most of the year gone already and I don't see much chance of getting any gaming before 2021. Overall painting progress is still good with 1,655 items completed which broken down by period gives:
  • Ancient 769
  • Medieval 278
  • WW1 241
  • Renaissance 140
  • Napoleonic 133
  • WW2 28
  • SYW 26
  • Terrain 21
  • Modern 19

Looking at the plan in detail
  • An Achaemenid Persian army, I've about 200 items already purchased -completed in Q2.
  • Cruel Seas - British/German/US flotillas of 6 boats each, plus some merchant ships- still not started.
  • Black Seas - a small Dutch fleet (something a bit different from the norm)- completed this quarter.
  • Medieval – More WOTR longbow/bill units, mounted archers, cavalry, Scottish cavalry and extra Crusader foot- completed the WOTR bill/bow units and extra bits for Tannenberg including the Scottish cavalry pretending to be Lithuanians In Q3 more foot for the Crusades were added.
  • Renaissance – Russian Stoldatski, etc. using up the Strelets bonus figures plus Galleys- completed the Soldatski and Town Cossack plus I've started work on the Galleys and their crews.
  • WW2 – bits and pieces (I'll try to avoid buying more)- Managed not to paint any in Q3!
  • SYW – More (French?) Cavalry, British guns- British Artillery completed so far.
  • WW1 – increase/rebase Germans for 1917 and add some French - Completed
  • 28mm – “skirmishing” WSS figures to provide more opposition for my pirates and Spanish- not started yet
  • Terrain – more buildings, fences, balkas/wadis, vines, etc.- Only a few bits completed so far
  • Organise the forces for the Lance and Longbow games at York, which will be Tannenberg 1410 and possibly Montgisard 1177 at Recon- successfully ran Tannenberg and we had agreed to run it at Phalanx in June, but this never took place not at all sure when I'll next get to a show so all on hold for now
  • Q2 addition - I have decided to rebase my Ancient Greeks to match the Persians, so they can either provide mercenary units for them or fight against them.- Virtually all completed except for some cavalry and commanders
