Still Around - Wargames Atlantic Tirailleurs And Other Stuff

Just a little post to show that I haven't left the planet yet. I'd like to say I was busy with work or something silly like that, but honestly I've just been a bit lazy. Probably something to do with taking a break after the convention a few weeks ago. I did, however, start on a project that's been in the back of my mind for awhile - at least since seeing the Perrys' Egyptian Campaign French in Kleber uniform. Those and always wanting to paint up some Janissaries. I had ordered some of those Perry figures and some Assault Group Ottomans before the convention and they arrived right around the time of the convention. Started painting up some of the French in various demi-brigade uniform colors. Before getting too far along with them I foolishly sent a shout out to some of my gaming buddies for a Western Desert Campaign Bolt Action game in a couple of weeks. Whilst doing a headcount of troops, it was discovered that the Axis troops outnumbered the British-Free French forces after painting up those Italian troops. Luckily I was able to pick up a another box of Wargames Atlantic French from my buddy yesterday and painted up a squad of Tirailleurs today. Here's a shot of them with the Minwax stain still wet - the Egyptian Campaign figures in the background.

Again, just a quick post to keep the blog in existence and let you know that I'm still in the game. Until next time, wishing you all the best and thanks for stopping by.
