Plans for 2020

So I was overly ambitious for this year, I changed jobs which threw off my game plans and I strayed from the 18th century but fear not, I shall be back in this period with relish,
1. Begin working on the ho/how buildings
2. Possibly some skirmishing
3. Lots of terrain projects mainly finishing up some kits and gear
4. Touch ups on figures

War games Illustrated issue 381 July 2019 3 18th century campaigns

This issue consists of invasion scenarios with which cover the period of my Irish Highlander blog we have the Battle of carrickfergus 1760 the French attack on Ulster there's also the American invasion of Canada 1775 there is also the  Civil War of 1793 in Revolutionary War France.

I have previously done some of the 1775 invasion of Canada but this one adds to it.
I have the figures of this period so let's party!

Pirate action, somewhere in the Carribean 1700

Ian and I wanted to do a Black Powder game. However, the garage is a bit too cold. One of the future house projects is to either get the wood stove in it certified, the electrical system hooked up again or some other heat source. 

These figures were from his toy sets he got when we first came to Canada on a visit back in 2013. Little did we know that two years later we would move back.

The pirates on their ship were trying to capture supplies from the pirates on the beach. Luckily for the beach pirates, the ship guns fired poorly

The King's Men for On the Seven Seas

These figures I have done up for a variety of periods from 1680 up to about 1765. Granted, by the upper time period, they are stretching it just a bit.

The first figures up are a generic Grenadier/Marine unit, originally a Zeveda Russian Infantry of Peter I for the Great Northern War. I have painted these up as a Grenadier company of the 17th Regiment, but can also become a Marine unit.

I also have a Grenade/Hand mortar fellow, and some choice officers.
Unfortunately I found this gaming system to be too complex with musket, pistol and cannon firing. So it was one of the few and only Osprey publishing book I willingly parted with.
