Another four hours down the drain... eh, slaving away at the workbench. I got pictures of the micro armor and work continues on the batch of 15mm scifi troopers. The first platoon is ready to be based and the two next ones aren't far behind.

Though I gotta admit that the first signs of fatigue are showing up. Painting 15's is just so mind-numbingly boring. Quite frankly I could use a day off, but at this stage I'm not quite sure I can afford it. I think I need to do something else for a change after this batch. And I really have to do those Mexicans and Apaches too...

What's positive though is that I'm far too busy to even contemplate buying any new miniatures. I did take a look at Modern Spearhead, though. Even though it's supposed to be back in print, I couldn't find anyone actually selling it. And looking at a couple of random scenarios I pulled off the net, it seems to be aimed at roughly 100 stands per side level of gaming. That's way more things to move than I like.

Maybe I should give Cold War Commander another look. We tried to play it, but perhaps the problem was the Vietnam era -- I'm getting the feel the rules don't really work with extremely infantry heavy forces like the Viet Cong. At least all the other examples I've found have been far more vehicle heavy -- or maybe it's just the normal anti-infantry bias in gaming.

I'm glad to see the Ebola campaign pledges are picking up a little bit.

Figures remaining: 381

Total pledges: 20 GBP Red Cross Ebola Campaign
