End March - So Far, So Good

Fernando Enterprises

After a nervous wait I had an email from Fernando Enterprises to say that my Victrix plastic Austrian Napoleonics had arrived safely in Sri Lanka!

A few days later I had a follow up email to say that a couple of bayonets were broken and asking whether they should tidy the figures and paint them anyway. Good Customer Service or what!!!

Painting

As to my painting the Highlanders are based and finished but as my camera is playing up I'm afraid there is no photo. I'm about two thirds towards finishing the next Unit of Mutineers and a British Officer shooting from an Elephant. the latter being an old Foundry set originally part of a 'Tiger Hunt'.

Gaming

I have  managed to attend the South Somerset Wargames Group (SSWG) weekly Thursday Club Night twice this month.

On the first occasion I had a really good game of Bolt Action, WWII skirmish, which resulted in me digging out my partly finished Italians and ordering an Autoblinda Armoured Car and Carro Armato M13/40 (from Warlord Games) and a few Command types. They arrived within a couple of days so Warlord were up to there usual standard. Yet more painting!!!

The second visit was for a game of 28mm Napoleonics, using Black Powder. It was most enjoyable and as it was only the 2nd time we have tried the rules it was a steep learning curve for us all. There were a couple of unexpected events but they were down to our unfamiliarity with the rules.  We are due play again this week so as long as my camera decides to work I'll post some photos.
