Hi!
I find myself with about half a dozen odds and ends almost finished but not quite ready to post up here so I decided to dust off my gaming board and see how my old school gubbins look on the table.

| A Board Forsooth! |
As I only have a 3'x3' board, there's no way I'm going to be able to play large games and I think I'll need to limit terrain item size to about a 1'x1' footprint maximum. The board itself is one of the artificial grass mats available from Aldi from time to time (I could only get dark green but will try and keep my eye out for bright green next time they're available!). In an ideal world I'd have a 6'x4' board and plentiful space to put on awesome games but that's just not an option for me.
Looking at the state of play, I really need to make loads of scenic gubbins to make a decent battlefield and have lots of places for my troopers to hide behind!
What it will allow for is small skirmishes, possibly of a squad or two of figures per side along with a smattering of characters and the odd small vehicle which I will need to keep in mind when it comes to painting and eventually buying gubbins.
Speaking of which, I have decided that it's going to be a hard rule for me to not buy any more miniatures this year as I've got tons of stuff to paint and keep finding more! I'm having quite a bit of success in painting through the stuff I do have though which is great so hopefully I'll make a decent dent in my unpainted pile throughout the year ahead. While I'd love to go buying lots of ooh shiny goodness, I just don't want to spend any more than I absolutely have to during furlough and beyond.
Tomorrow should have some more interesting pictures of assorted gubbins but till then, All the best!
