Ok, I couple of things happened yesterday.

I finished a batch of rather nice terrain accessories fro Pardulon. These were quick and easy to do. I also finished another batch of my maze terrain tiles. I think I should have enough of these for a game now. At the very least I need to move them to a bigger box.

I also ran out of matt varnish. I'm trying to get rid of sprays and solvents, but varnish still remains. I gotta go buy some more.

And finally I did something that I absolutely hate doing, but it just needed doing: I rebased some figures. When I originally did my 15mm Vietnamese, I followed the official basing scheme and put four guys on both the rifle bases and the RPG bases. While perhaps 'realistic', this created the problem that RPG bases were darn hard to identify on the gaming table. When I did my new batch, I based RPGs with three guys per base. These looked pretty good, so I took out the old RPG bases, hammered off one rifleman from each and fixed up the bases. The good thing about this was that it gave me 12 extra riflemen -- enough for three rifle bases which was exactly what I was missing from my line up. Now I have enough figures for eight platoons of VC infantry (plus support).

That still doesn't make me like rebasing...

However, the most important thing is that I dug up my saxons. I bought these earlier this year, partly simply to check out the new Gripping Beast plastics, partly to provide troops for SAGA games. Black Tree having nice sales on Dark Age infantry did goad me a little bit, and in the end I appear to have over 50 metal saxons on top of the Beast plastics...

Anyways, there's going to be a SAGA demo at my gaming club in January, and I need to get my saxons in fighting order by then. Enter Project S!
