2013 Wargaming Year In Review
« on: January 01, 2014, 11:34:00 AM »
Hi chaps,

Happy New Year. 

Just posted my annual rambling look at my personal wargaming journey over the last twelve months.  Apologies for the absence of pics I'm still having issues with the site.

Very nice, I will have to pick up a journal and a "history" of my gaming experiences.

Very inspiring actually!

Gracias,

Glenn

 Nice report Kev.You have painted loads of miniatures too,wow.

 SELWG was a good show this year.It was my second year trading at the show and it seemed busier than the 2012 show did.The weather did not seem to put people off.

 Got my table booked for Salute too.This will be second time trading a the show.Fierst one in 2013 was a real eye opener.Way too many miniatures to look at and I am sure I missed out on quite a few things like most I should imagine.

Wow, excellent achievements, thumbs up!

Personally, despite meticulously recording some aspects of the hobby, I have steered well clear of calculating the monetary cost...

...the way I see it the most expensive figures are the ones you don't paint. The way to combat that is to paint more.
