More Miscellaneous Stuff

Been a long and exhausting week. I have a lot of personal appointments and home improvement to catch up on. Haven't got much done gaming-wise done at all; my plan for a Battery Wagner game at work was shot down, so won't have a chance to use it at work anytime soon. This week is Fourth of July, though, so I'm hoping to get away with a "patriotic" game of some sort. I'm torn between a reenactment of North Point using Junior General and Paperboys I built during the pandemic, and a round of the Perry's TravelBattle (its Napoleonic style works just as well for War of 1812). I'm leaning towards the latter, as it's more "game-like."

So this weekend was spent working on personal stuff a bit, and a few books and hobby bitz.

I read the first volume online, and hunted
the second down on Ebay. A very interesting
biography of a perhaps over-maligned commander.

Not specifically gaming-related, but by a well-known
game designer I've gotten to know on Facebook. The
first volume's quite good so far - a fun series with
the style of a classic.

Completed the 3rd Edition 40K ruin I bought at Recon.
Very easy to build, and solid even without much glue.
May try painting it one of these days.

Another Recon purchase - Mark 6 Heresy Marines.
Each slot contains the parts for one model, in the
unlikely event I do a build-n-take at work. I'd need
inexpensive plastic glue, though.

Spent some tiring time in the heat today collecting a 
6x4 piece of light plywood. Laid atop my 2x4 plastic
table, I'm hoping this will enable me to play more
conventionally-sized games.

This week? Mostly work and a little job-searching, as usual. I hope to use the larger table to play some mid-18th century games on a more conventional scale; I'd like to work my way through all the Charles S. Grant solo scenarios.

Hope your weekend has been as productive!
