Every year I (like so many other wargaming Bloggers) write a review of my year and make a load of unlikely predictions for the coming twelve months. Some of my resolutions are either deliberately easy or at the very least hard to define so that by the end of the year I can smugly say I have achieved most of the things on my list. But this year has been an unmitigated mess as far as predictions are concerned and my untimely - and very bitter - exit from my old company only managed to screw up matters even more.
I have managed to start a new project this year (
Desert Raiders) and at the start of the year I hit my target on the
2013/14 Winter Painting Challenge, but since then things have gone downhill fast. Redundancy and job hunting have consumed a lot of my time this year and even after finding a new job I've been so busy settling-in that my hobby time has taken a big hit. The one thing that has kept me going during 2014 has been my continued involvement with
Posties Rejects. Having such a nice group of friends to wargame with has kept me from going completely bonkers this year, even in the darkest days of my redundancy. Here's a short look at the games I have played this year.
Not a bad collection of games ranging across several periods and scales and all played with a great bunch of guys in a very friendly and convivial atmosphere. What more can one ask for?
Have a great new year folks. Here's looking forward to the battles of 2015.
ah shuks!
ReplyDeleteEspecially you Sir. I don't care what the others say about you, I think you're a swell chap. ;)
DeleteI don't think that is how you spell sMelly!
DeleteWhat a nice array of games. I hope that 2015 makes up for the troubles of 2014

Splendid pictures, a great year!
ReplyDeleteI too find that this hobby helps me to stay sane in tough times. I'm glad the year is ending on an upswing and hope that 2015 is much more to your liking.
ReplyDeleteI really did like that desert ww2 game.
ReplyDeleteI shall look into another SCW game this year. (Maybe even more than 1 as we don't want it to get "Annual")
Great games and here's to a brighter 2015, all the best Lee.
ReplyDeleteAs I read this thought 'I remember that one, it was my favorite.' then I saw the next photo and thought, oh well you can guess that rest. Super games, super run down. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteOverall then a good gaming year ...have a great 2015 Lee.
ReplyDeleteI love the white hand banner for Saruman in the Romans Go Home game.
