Progress against plan Q2 2023

A position for half way through the yeear with 1,172 items completed so all going well on the "Great tidy-up".

Compared against specific targets I set

1. Rationalise my Terrain, upgrading or replacing any unsuitable items - still not started - I need to get this done while the weather is warm
2. Retouch/Rebase as many figures as possible. - Zulu War completed
3. Attempt to complete all the figures in the stash that have a clear fit with my current plans - underway
4. Clear out all unwanted items - had a first purge on ebay

Amplifying the above:

1. Rationalise my Terrain, upgrading or replacing any unsuitable items

• Wooden Fencing needs either upgraded or replaced
• Hills, I have too many of the wrong sizes
• Rivers need expanded
• Wadi/Depression edges need created

2. Rework/Rebase as many figures as possible.

• Zulu Wars - delayed from last year - All completed
• Dark Ages - not started
• Russian Civil War - not started
• possibly Napoleonic British - not started

3. Attempt to complete all the figures in the stash that have a clear fit with my current plans

• Finish the WSS - Completed all but the latest sets released by Strelets, which are now in progress
• Scottish schiltron - completed
• More "Cossack" infantry & cavalry - completed
• Baggage camels for the Crusades, Sudan, etc. - bought the relevant STL files and printed them, I just need to find some handlers
• Replace my old Napoleonic French Dragoons - Completed
• Napoleonic Spanish infantry for skirmish games - not started
• 28mm ECW cavalry - not started

4. Clear out all unwanted items, including painted figures

• Assess each existing period, army, and units to consider if I am really going to use them - underway - some sold on ebay
• Reduce the figure stash from 4 crates to 3 - underway - some sold on ebay

5. 3D Printing - the bulk of my immediate needs have been printed so I am looking at

• ways to produce matching 20mm figures & smaller equipment to complete my Napoleonic and other armies
• components for houses and other terrain - have produced some bunker doors
• work on how to make/modify files to meet my specific needs - getting reasonably adept at using 3D builder

6. Gaming

• Play at least one WW2 Sicily game as is is the 80th anniversary this year - not done yet
• I would like to try Dresden 1813 as it is the 210th anniversary - not done yet
• Attend as many shows as possible - managed Vapanartak, Hammerhead and Phalanx so far
