PDF to PAPER!

Spend a lot of the day printing TooFatLardies and Ganesha Games rules from the PDFs.

This seemingly simple exercise is made diffucult by the fact that my brain is on holiday without me. Getting both sides printed, the right way up took up most of my time and paper.

So what did I achieve:

Blades & Heroes and Flying Lead were already printed in booklet form, I only had to print the cover and staple. Told you I didn't achieve much.

Flying Lead was the base set of rules used at Little Wars for the Victorian SF game.

Charlie Don't Surf!

TooFatLardies Vietnam Rules "Charlie Don't Surf!" and the associated "Surf's Up!" have been added to the virtual library.

I am looking at using 6mm figures, with each squad being represented by a 20x40mm stand. Support weapon will be based on 20x20mm, and civilians on round bases. Still to confirm the Big Men, but I expect that it will be by marker.

The question is GHQ or Irregular figures. Cost and convenience vs quality. Strangely I like Irregulars figures but am not that impressed with the vehicles. As for GHQ you have to buy by the set and support weapons are in a separate set. This means a minimum of $60 for infantry.

Convenience and supporting Nic of Eureka will probably win, although irregular infantry and GHQ vehicles and helicopters is a likely compromise.

Up & Crawling

It seems so long ago since the last Blog entry, 6 months, it seems like only a few weeks. Productivity wise it has only been a few weeks.

Other than 2.5 months in hospital during which I managed a few dwarves (still incomplete) I don't seem to have achieved much. I need to go back and catalogue where I am and hopefully find that I have spilt more paint than my feeble memory can place. As you can see my painting table is a pickle.

On the upside I have settled on a paint scheme for my Tyranid force and have a unit of 16 naked celtic fanatics that have been dipped and are awaiting a matte varnish. The photo is before dipping.

Hopefully this will not be a lone post.

Stay Tuned!!
