The best of intentions…

I had hoped to have a lot of updates ready to upload well before today, but I’ve been distinctly unwell for a couple of weeks and unable to achieve anything beyond setting up The Killing Ground ready for a solo run through. Yes indeed it’s almost the perfect time to start a day by day playthrough of the game.

My late war brits are still sitting accusingly on my painting table but I did manage to actually do some cleaning of castings for a little while last night. (Universal carriers – the non-one piece later Battlefront pieces). Other than that I’ve been watching a few movies and 1970s era TV series – notably Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, Talvisota (again) and most recently the first few episodes of the BBC post-apocalyse drama Survivors.

I reember seeing Survivors in bits and pieces in the 70s but hadn’t seen the very start of the programme. So it’s all been a bit of a discovery for me. Other than that I’ve tried to limit my onlie activity to minimal periods of time before the migraines start in earnest but I have managed to find a very pleasant gaming site to peruse regularly – it’s not populated by the anal-retentive agenda laden types that have allowed me to drop the Armintrout site almost completely:

The Guild

So many good ideas and they’re very welcoming and supportive. Makes a nice change really. Populated by pragmatist type gamers and modellers and not too worried about the correct number of threads per inch in uniform blouses. Check out the Guild Group Builds area particularly the Nebelwerfer battery – given I saw it just before I bought some Battlefront Nebelwerfers and transports you can guess what I ended up setting as a project.
