Hi Brian,


My friend Chris Beesley, who plays at the Central Lndon club, has attended some of the Square Bashing days. Let me know if contact would help.

Hi Ray,

Yes please, I've been to the club on occassion for games with Gareth Evans.

Thanks for the offer of a 'loaner' but the comrades of the Reathamgrad (formerly St Reatham) soviet are working hard throughout the long winter nights, producing armaments for a new army, barely stopping to consume their meagre rations of Borsch and vodka.  This is arduous work, so great are the numbers who have rallied to defend the Revolution (all those reservist battalions but this should be an entertaining army).  I'm also building up a set of scenery and can field an interventionist (Archangel) army from a ragbag of WWI figures so I can play solo to get to grips with the system.  If there's anyone interested in SB in the South London area, please get in touch.  I'm more interested in enjoyable games with good company and the right historical feel than winning (just as well with my track record).  A few photos of progres so far (apologies for the quality of the photos, it's a skill whichhas always eluded me)

Those are nice-looking figures, Brian!

[Brian Cameron]

Thanks.  The slightly fuzzy photo probably shows them at their best!  They're just block painting with a AP wash which is simple and quick and suits my arthritic fingers.  I should be able to set up and play a game solo next week - really looking forward to doing so.

But the thing is, the more difficult and time consuming it  takes to paint figures then the longer it takes to put armies together and the less playing time there is. I fully support the block paint, wash, bit of highlight ready-to-go approach.

[Brian Cameron]

Thoroughly agree.  There just over 200 figures for the army.  In 28mm that would have taken me months doing the full 'Kevin Dallimore' job, which I enjoy, but it means it's a long time before you can put an army on the table with the possibility of your enthusiasm waning.  By comparison, having bough the figures mid-December, the army is now done, though I'm painting up a few more to provide more than one option for the army composition, and I'm now stuck (almost literally)into making the scenery templates, painting buildings etc.

Hi Brian,

I have sent you a PM on this. Sorry for delay & please let me know when you get it.
