Do miss my weekly club gatherings, the gym, and my friends.
Thankfully I just got Ginny and Amina in before all this broke
loose. Alas, the terrace fences aren't ready yet so they can't go
out.
Painting, My right hand has developed a permanent brush -hold
stance. How lucky those ambidextrous people are.
Priming,? My Lead Mountain is now partially a light grey
mountain. All stashed away in RUB boxes with magnetic foil. My
neighbors are sure I have a chemical plant at my place.
Cleaning figures. I've gone through about 100 #11, #10a, #15 and
#15c blades so far. My Dremel is hiding in a corner whimpering.
Ordering new figures. Less said about that the better. Feind h?rt
mit! Mind you,? some manufacturers and distributors already have
gaps! Hurry if you still want your fix.
Washing my hands so often I no longer need sandpaper to polish
the figures. I just rub them against what is left of my skin.
Dreaming of new armies. Medication against that affliction is no
longer available. Richard isn't helping very much with his Infamy,
Infamy videos.
Stay safe!

Hi All,
Need to finish some Eureka US & Germans. Also looking
at getting British as I want to do some IABSM - COC games in
that ignored corner of the world Tunisia. I like the Eureka
20mm's, sold in full squad by nationality packs and with
proper mix of weapons. Great job! If I decide to do some
Sicily - Italy games later will add fallschirmjager.
Setting up a scenario for Sam Mustafa's "Rommel" to play
with a friend later this week. We have a safe way to do it
without going electronic.
Other than that I just check to see if I'm still alive from
time to time.
Stay cheerful and entertained.
On
a personal level, I've been painting a lot of things from my
lead/resin/[plastic mountain and prepping up things so I can
paint whatever takes my fancy. A few of us from my club are
playing an email-based strategic game based on a fantasy
continent, and some more of us are also playing a Call of
Cthulhu game via Google hangouts, although we are going to
switch to Zoom for the next round. I have also roped my
non-gaming partner into a couple of games, one of WaT and
another of CoC.

I'm retired so fortunately no work issues. My wife and I have been self isolating since March 15. Only trips for food and doctor's appointments.
We've seen our son, who lives in the same town and deemed an "essential worker", twice since then for a total of 10 minutes. All of our retirement community's
activities have been closed down. We try to walk every day and I ride my bike a few days a week. Not quite the same as being in the pool playing water volleyball
and swimming 5 times a week.
This week I received 4 boxes of Victrix figures from Badger Games; 2 boxes of EIR Romans and 1? box each of Auxiliary infantry and cavalry. I also picked up
the?Vallejo Imperial Rome Era Paint Set. This is my first venture with 28mm figures. Obviously I'm getting ready for Infamy, Infamy
Best of luck to all of you and stay well.

Full-time student whose classes are online. Lots of time at home, got into Charlie Don’t Surf and ordered a ton of 15mm US, NVA and local forces along with some Huey slicks and armored fighting vehicles. Been using foam to make all kinds of rice paddies and hills, also ordered a village from flashpoint. Unfortunately battlefront is locked down so might be awhile before the bulk of the figures get here. Still having fun though!?

I chat daily via Google Hangouts with the guys in my gaming group and
we will be doing online game sessions. I am making progress on the
Adeptus Titanicus box set I bought when it came out, built and then
promptly stopped painting.
And I got back into LEGO. Been wanting to for years as a mate is a
hardcore collector and the new kits are brilliant. Now I had the
chance to support my FLLS (Friendly Local Lego Store) and kill
quarantine time so took the plunge with the Roadmaster bus kit. Great
fun and now eyeing the Lad Rover kit.

I'm a recently retired teacher so lockdown-daily schedule really isn't much of a change. Here's what's on my "Finish This Stuff list"
1. Complete Caesarian Roman repurpose/rebasing for Infamy. Got about 120 finished out. That should be enough. The Barbarians are done. 150+ should be enough.
2. Complete "Flash Harry's Mexico Holiday-1863". Flash and the Imperial forces done. Got 60 Juaristas to paint, scheduled to rollout in October at BBQ Lard-Grapevine Texas. Need to finish the newly arrived Charlie Foxtrot Pantile buildings/walls and purchase a decent "cobblestone" table mat for the town of La Madre Tuya.
3. Solo gaming using SP2, CoC, and 54mm AWI and Napoleonics Also learn how to use that CoC simulator now I've spent good money for it. :)
4. 3D print more buildings in 15mm and 28mm
5. Complete 28mm War of the Worlds Martian War Machines (20 of them) to make the Earth Martian in 1879. Opposing them is my Stadden Zulu war collection
6. Learn and learn how to use some type of real time video technology to facilitate General d' Brigade in 15mm.?
7. Make sure whisky cabinet and beer fridge are correctly stocked. That should be number 1 right?
8. Test out the pool floats as the 90 degree Tejas "springtime" is coming soon. Thinking a poolside/deckside wargame is definitely a possibility. Doin' stuff Tejas style!

Just out of curiosity, which STL files are you using for the buildings? - always interested in finding new files.

Working from home for the last 3,5 weeks, but that is going well, so don't really get that much extra hobby time during the day. My 4h commute goes to longer working hours and a lie-in in the morning (half past 7 rather than half past 5!!!). But I do stay up later and have been painting stuff - have completed 8 units for Star Wars legion in the last month, as well as loads of scenery, and some of the figures for Mice and Mystics. Obviously no more nights out or gaming nights :-(? But as Thomas said, we do chat a lot, and are planning some online gaming. Apart from that I've reorganised my gaming stuff in my room, it's much more efficient now (and I have found loads of stuff that I couldn't remember I had :D )
If Infamy Infamy gets out, I'll buy some (more) Romans and Celts and will paint those.
Take care, Lardies!

I chat daily via Google Hangouts with the guys in my gaming group and
we will be doing online game sessions. I am making progress on the
Adeptus Titanicus box set I bought when it came out, built and then
promptly stopped painting.
And I got back into LEGO. Been wanting to for years as a mate is a
hardcore collector and the new kits are brilliant. Now I had the
chance to support my FLLS (Friendly Local Lego Store) and kill
quarantine time so took the plunge with the Roadmaster bus kit. Great
fun and now eyeing the Lad Rover kit.

Currently finishing my AWI American forces (2 Brigades) and then sorting out what I will need if anything for the British. Will then finish my pirates as it appears Blood and Plunder will be popular with some of my club after the enforced break. Will also be looking for Infamy, Infamy to be published so that I can sort out my Romans, Gauls and Greeks. Oh, and working on my conversions of OO gauge railway rolling stock so that they will be narrow gauge 28mm items and multiperiod. At least that's the intention, so far have completed two battalions of infantry and looking working on the cavalry for both sides on the AWI. These were already 1/2 done a few years ago.

In these times it's important to keep those contacts and the club going so I decided to run a game of sharp practice for the club over Facebook using a table in my garage? and video recording things like the drawer of the chits dice rolls and of course placement of figures at the moment we're on turn one and it's a French Indian war game the British are attacking a French settlement .

I get most if not all my files via Wargame 3D. com or Thingiverse?
I use Yeggi or .stl finder for search engines as well. Hope that helps a little.
Stay "Rona free"...and safe!

The main hobby project during lockdown is painting a pile of Minifigs ECW that have been unpainted for around 30 years. My gaming buddy and I are going to be trying to Skype a game of For King & Parliament this Sunday, so I’ll be making a delivery of troops to his front door sometime Thursday/Friday.
However, my main painting project the last couple of weeks has been a full scale repaint of the front of my house, weather permitting. I finished the prep work yesterday and started priming. If the weather continues nice I should be close to finished by the weekend. Lloyd

Cheers, pretty much the same here. ?

They are mostly Panzerschiffes that I bought back in 1983. They to build both navies using those originals. Ones that I am missing or Panzerschiffes does not offer, I went with WTJ.?
Jon what models are you using for your 1898 naval project?

Still desperately wishing we could buy a pdf version of the CoC PTO book!

Writing!
1. I'm working on an overly ambitious NUTS! WW2 campaign book series that will let a player basically take their core squad through the entire war. The books will be:? ETO (Western and Eastern Fronts), Desert War (including East Africa), PTO (including Indo-China/Burma). I've completed the x2 ETO books, and am grinding through the Desert War book. Been drinking from a fire hose, as it were, trying to read everything? I can on the subject to get this done. It's already forced me to create a new type of campaign map. The broad area maps used in the campaign system are two generic for North Africa. In the context of Europe having a map with large areas picked out fine - Normandy, Paris etc. But all the campaigns in North Africa were essentially linear, fought back and forth along the coastal zone. Hemmed in by harsh deserts, escarpments and rugged hills, the armies had to more or less follow the coastal road that ran from Alexandria to Tripoli. Yes, you could swing wide in areas, etc. So when you map it out it at a high level - boring! So I created? new linked area movement to add flavor. Anyways, just finished the high level campaigns and am creating sample scenarios for each campaign. Finished a few scenarios for 1940 through June 1941 and Halfaya Pass, next up - Operation Crusader!?
2. Updating older NUTS books for re-print. Just competed updating the Stalingrad book for 4th edition, then just two left - Italian campaign and Hurtgen Forest.
3. Painting. Just getting back into working through the figures that have been collecting dust on the workbench. Just finished? group of Post-Apoc survivors. Next in queue are some Dark Ages Saxons, then some scifi? infantry from the now OOP Defiant miniatures guys.
