ECW for Simon

So the first post of the New Year and the first figures completed. These are the 8th regiment of foote for Simon. I've already got them bagged up the the last 3, just need labelling up when I find the labels. One of the disadvantages of taking down Christmas decorations and everything gets tidied up, you then can't find anything.

So just 2 more regiments of Royalists and 2 Scottish regiments to go. I will be pleased to see the back of these. I know it's a personal thing but I find painting figures and then not basing them up to use in a game a bit dispiriting. It's like you have no final output for your endeavors. Anyway, hopefully Simon will send me some pictures when he gets the flags added and regiments based.

I've also splashed out on some new figures in readiness for a new project that will run alongside the Marston Moor Project. This will be World War II in North Africa. So far I've ordered a boxed set of infantry and AT guns from Forged in Battle, picked up a second boxed set from Colonel Bills rather cheap with some HMG teams. I'll be re-using a couple of Panzer IVs already in my possession as well as a couple of Panzer IIIs from Zvezda to add a little punch. They'll be done for games of O Group which I'm looking forward to trying out.
