2025 review

A furious cavalry melee. From a Maurice 
War of Spanish Succession game with 
18mm Wofun standees.
My main areas of focus this year have been Eisenhower, Maurice and collecting Wofun standees.

I've had to ration computer use because of migraines so posting blog articles has suffered, but I did manage some gaming, collecting and even some modelling/painting.

Eisenhower gave me the incentive to base and paint some of my 3mm 1940 French and German armies originally bought for Rommel.

Maurice has been a welcome return to another set of Sam Mustafa rules. I do have 10mm SYW armies for this but never got round to painting them. I now have 18mm Wofun War of Spanish Succession armies as indicated in the photo here.

I also accumulated Wofun 18mm English Civil War armies, but haven't yet used them, and have now started to collect Wofun 18mm Peninsular War forces.

I also relabelled my ceramic blocks for playing later 19thC Bloody Big Battles! again though I would prefer to use Wofun Peter Dennis 18mm Franco-Prussian War standees if they ever appear. 

I'll post separately about my plans for next year...

  1. It looks like this year you have brought your wargaming and collection to a place that is much closer to what you have been looking for over the past few years.

    1. Hi Norm, that is an interesting comment. I suppose I'd describe it as consolidation: primarily a return to games I already know and like and limiting new acquisitions to armies that have a low entry price in effort. I've lost too many years painting or half-painting figures out of all proportion to the time spent playing with them!
