Plan for 2024

I am tempted to say there is no plan, unlike previous years. In a sense this was planned as I wanted to get to a point where I felt my various armies needed little or no additions, this should mean I can look at starting something new.

So this year I will be working on a much looser plan than previously and my objectives can be summarised as:
  1. Rework/Rebase as many figures as possible
  2. Enhance/Add some new forces to the collection
  3. Maintain or ideally reduce the stash
  4. Exploit the 3D Printer
  5. Enjoy Games & Shows
Amplifying the above:

1. Rework/Rebase as many figures as possible.
  • Start on the Napoleonics (this may take a couple of years to do) - I've made a start on the British
  • WW2 Winter Russians
  • Early War German Fallschirmjager

2. Enhance/Add some new forces to the collection in no particular order
  • 15mm DBA Italian wars army (for the forthcoming inter-club tournament)
  • 28mm Female Gunfighters
  • Add a unit of WW2 Japanese SNLF
  • Extra units for the Crusades
  • French Dragoons for Egypt 1800
  • Modify the SYW Austrian Grenz to use for Prussian Frei Korps
  • SNLF units to complete my WW2 Japanese Infantry
  • Some extra Aztecs for skirmish games
  • Some French dragoons for my French in Egypt 1800
  • Various figures and terrain need for Montgisard 1177
  • WW2 BEF infantry (I plan to 3D print the extra needed figures, etc.)

3. Continue to clear out all unwanted items, including painted figures
  • Re-assess each existing period, army, and units to consider if I am really going to use them
  • Reduce the stash (figure and plastic bits box) from 4 crates to 3
  • review my 1/300 collection and decide its fate

4. 3D Printing - the bulk of my immediate needs have been printed so I will work on
  • gradually replace existing diecast and other poor quality AFVs in my collection
  • components for houses and other terrain
  • work on how to make/modify files to meet my specific needs
5. Gaming
  • Continue supporting the Beacon Club and attending as many weekend events as possible
  • Attend at least as many shows as last year

Good plan, especially the clear out. 4 down to 3 crates sounds a very positive move ….. interesting to see what you do with the 1/300. I recently got rid of everything that was small scale, including buildings etc and that got rid of a lot of distracting repitition within the collection.
