@wssmagazine
podcast, you might've heard how some of my collection and 'grey army' got reduced by a storage fire.😢 First time in years that my answer about unpainted and painted figures in the greatwargamingsurvey.com went down... How's that for you?

I really enjoy working on my AWI collection, but I've always been a bit scattershot, never focusing on any particular scenario. So this weekend, I figured I'd stick all scenarios from Rebellion and WSS in a sheet and let it tell me which are closest to being done and which units are most useful. 💡

Finished some Polish paras and British glider pilots. The former to mix in with the helmet-wearing extant collection to instantly transform the unit's nationality, the latter as a support option for future Arnhem CoC2 scenarios. #spreadthelard #wargaming

Interesting. I'll go have a look. Oddly, on the few photos at Arnhem showing sailors, they can hardly be distinguished from other soldiers.

No, Nelson wouldn’t have allowed that. He’s very fierce.

Having done the usual last-minute painting to get my stuff done for #cloglard, I used the calm of the next morning to reorganize the pig-sty to about stable level.
Thanks so much to the hosts, participants and co-organizers! Too tired to evaluate, but I think we had a great day! #spreadthelard
