I enjoyed the good Captain’s analysis of what makes a winning entry and so I thought I’d comment on what motivates me to participate in the LPL. Basically, and with regard to my pet projects:
(1) to paint more
(2) to paint better
In LPL4 I managed to enter F&IW teams for 9 rounds and in LPL5 for 8.
The following comparisons show (I’d like to think) quite a bit of improvement between 2010 and 2011, which for me is a lot of what the LPL is about.
2011 then 2010: 44th Regiment using Crusader minis 
2011 then 2010: Compagnies Franches de la Marine using Conquest minis 
2011 then 2010: 60th Regiment using Eureka minis
