Progress against plan Q1 2022

It certainly feels like a slow start to the year with only 268 items completed, but I also carried out my first print run of the year and generated a lot of stuff that now has to be painted.

Looking at progress against the detailed plan:-

First and foremost my plan is to meet with as many friends as possible, assuming that retrictions come to an end, other than that I'll be working on three themes. - underway - Beacon Wargames club is well established and we've had our first gaming day of the year. I also supported the Lance & Longbow Society at Vapnartak.

Game specific projects

• Pegasus bridge and Horsa glider for a D-Day game - not started
• Continuing to build my War of Spanish Succession forces, as quickly as Strelets release them - underway - French mounted dragoons completed
• Rebase/upgrade the whole of my Anglo-Zulu War armies including the Boers - not started
• Attempt to rationalise my terrain - not started

Reducing the existing stash, I'd like to make at least a 10% reduction - underway - I have had a purge and sold some surplus on ebay

• Paint the already printed WW2 French vehicles - Completed, but I've printed more
• Extra Afrika Corps and Italian figures to convert my Rapid Fire troops to use Batttlegroup. - not started
• French Goumier Platoon - not started
• An Australian Platoon plus supports for the desert/Crete, etc - completed.
• WW2 German Gebirgsjaeger and remaining Two platoons of winter infantry - not started
• Cavalry for the Seven Years War/Jacobite Rebellion - completed
• Napoleonic Spanish artillery and more cavalry - not started
• 1800 French in Egypt - double up the unit size from 12 to 24 - not started
• French Revolution - Cisapline legion troops - not started
• More Crusader baggage and Saracen cavalry - not started
• Imperial Croat cavalry and Polish pancerni - not started
• WW1 odd bits and pieces - not started

Exploiting the 3D resin printer

• Completing my Japanese forces for Pacific/Burma, by printing a selection of suitable vehicles to hopefully cover various 1941-1945 campaigns. - underway - a whole range of tanks, vehicles and guns have been printed
• Gradually replacing poorly cast or moulded models with new resin prints - underway - in the latest print run I printed replcements for my existing Somua S35's
• LVTs and any other extra vehicles so I can carry out Pacific beach landing games - underway - LVT's printed
• Test printing of 20mm figures - Carried out, seems feasible, need to decide on approach
• Components for buildings, doors, windows, shutters etc. - not started
• Try some 1/100 moderns for NorthAG - not started
• More vehicles for "Setting the East Ablaze" - underway - Lanchester armoured cars completed, still need trucks
