2016 Catchup and 2017 Anticipation

On a personal level, 2016 was not great. But for wargaming, it was rather good! I've been neglecting this blog, so here are some pictures of the games I got in since September. Details have been lost in a haze of holiday memories, though.

American Revolution with Guns of Liberty, 10mm





Check Your Six Jet Age

Over Egypt? Don't recall.

CY6 is quickly becoming one of my favorites in our play group, not out of any particular love of air combat but because it plays quick and fun, and the guy who usually runs it is a pretty entertaining host.

Seven Years War with Shako 2, 20mm





Austrians assaulting a Bavarian-held town.

Ambuscade!

A little one-day gaming get together at Guardian Games put on by Spencer, this attracted a good number of folks and had some really nice games going on.

Saga - battles in the snow between Vikings and Danes

Check Your Six - war over the Pacific

Flames of War, Russians vs. Germans in 1945. I got trounced in two games, first as Germans and then as Russians.

Ruined temples on the lost continent of Lemuria, about to be explored by doughty adventurers In Her Majesty's Name

Colonial Wars - British defending an outpost from natives. Done in proper toy soldier style with glossy 54mm figures.

What next?

Plans for 2017 are a bit hazy; 2016 saw a lot of personal upheaval, and I'm hoping things settle down into new patterns this year. Still, I plan on putting on the Battle of Magnesia at Enfilade this year, and on attending Lock & Load in July. Past that, no real plans; the Magnesia project eats up all my painting time for the next five months.
