Future plans, narrowing choices

 Several commenters have recommended picking a couple periods and rulesets and sticking to them for a while. This is probably a good idea!

• Central Africa skirmish campaign, to play with The Sword in Africa and my available figures (Zulu standing in for Masai etc, perhaps as the Ouazulu from the Major General's website). I'll just work my way through the TSIA scenarios, linking them loosely.
• 18th-Century freestyle Jacobite campaign, using the Stuart Asquith variant of Charge! with my Wofun figures. I have no idea where to start, though - what should the opening scenario be? I may try the Snakes and Ladders campaign from Grid Based Wargaming
• Picacho Pass skirmish scenario, to play with my local group around March or April, the 160th anniversary of the action. Two things are required - to hammer out appropriate rules and collect terrain. The former, likely Featherstonish, will be playtested if I can at work - anything that kids and teens can understand quickly should be suitable. The latter will be a brown tabletop, a ton of scatter aquarium terrain to hide behind, and a backdrop silhouette of Picacho Peak itself, with shelves for figures to stand on if they choose to climb it. Again, I can probably get away with building it at work, particularly since we're under construction and there is plenty of heavy cardboard free for the taking.
• Gaming with kids and teens at work - something of everything. Starting this week we are back to in-house programming, which is probably not the greatest idea in Florida, but the teen tech lab is already running and podcasting a Dungeons and Dragons campaign which I hope to sit in on. Anything in there will likely be fantasy, however; I am thinking of a jousting game using old Games Workshop rules and Paperboys knights, and the staff are eager to try Munchkin. With the younger kids it'll be weekly tabletop game nights, mostly family board games, but I may be able to get in Close Wars demos and simple RPGs. Both have been popular in the past.

So, two plans for solo-game campaigns at home (perhaps alternately?). A single small-skirmish club game. And things to try at work, though opportunities will have to be snatched - hence using the simplest rules I can hack. I'll still try other things in between; the Over the Hills solo RPG is appealing because I wouldn't have to "set down" too often, I still want to try De Bellis Navalis with my eraser ships, I might get in some remote RPGing, and I've almost forgotten about Glory:1861! But... (takes deep breath) ... I'll try to stick to the above for the majority of posts for a while. Thanks for reading.
