August 2014 Monthly Update

Its been a bit quiet here lately mainly due to my slackness. Sleeping more these days - getting older! lol

This weekend I intend to continue work on my 6mm moderns which I began again during the week as well as sort out some sample terrain cloth work for my local Tuesday night gaming group for our 2015 Waterloo weekend fight next June.

I have been tempted recently to reduce my 6mm Naps back to 24 figure units using double wide but normal depth instead of the 48 figure units using double width and depth as displayed in the last few dozen 6mm posts. The reason is to jump start this project back into momentum and get formations on the field a little quicker. I may base up a unit this weekend and take pics to see which I prefer.

Stay tuned for more updates.
