Projects Stalled
A good few years ago 2 campaigns began which, for various reasons, ran out of steam:
1. 15mm Colonial:
War in the Sudan campaign using a fictional map loosely based on the Sudan. This will
definitely continue although it may be rebooted on a wholly fictional landscape to allow all my
colonial factions to take part.

colonial factions to take part.
2. 15mm WW2:
Op Nostalgia. This is a fictional allied invasion of Italian and German held Greek islands in the
Aegean. Air and Naval elements also used. The last battle 12 years ago! How time flies!! I am
tempted to restart this but using 6mm. It will need a considerable amount of work to write new
Orders of Battle and also review the campaign rules.

Sounds like you going to be very busy for a long time Jon. Perfect wargami9ng situation to be in!
ReplyDeleteI envy gamers who are able to confine themselves to one or two periods Carlo. I have to force myself not to get drawn in to too much! The nice thing though is it keeps my wargaming fresh flicking between different periods.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing all this. Quick question can you remember what colours you used for your Italian North African stuff.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Richard P
I did a quick job on them to get them on the table so it was pretty basic. The vehicles and tanks were primed with Army Painter Desert Yellow. They were given a wash of GW Agrax Earthshade and then went old school with a drybrushing of Humbrol 63 Matt Sand. Tank tracks codex grey and finished off with a very light drybrush of Coat d' Arms 233 Linen. Figures were primed with the same primer, washed in Agrax Earthshade and drybrushed in Cd'A 506 Desert Sand.
DeleteBrilliant thanks
DeleteJon, you have many irons in the fire! Good luck with them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan.
DeleteCatching my breath after the rush to get everything ready for the big Snappy Nappy game... I love reading about the collections of other gamers, and there's a lot to love here!
ReplyDeleteMight I humbly suggest making this into a "page" on your blog (assuming blogspot has that capability)?
Thanks Peter. I will look into creating a page. Still getting my head around the technical aspects of this blog.
