Year's End Review

So another year has gone.

On the painting front 2024 was the third least productive year since I began keeping records of my efforts in 2014. It wasn't unexpected since I have deliberately called an end to any dramatic increase to my already substantial collection, limiting purchases only to completing existing collections or the occasional new unit.

The year has seen work on five projects: Austrian, French and Ottoman Napoleonics, American Civil War and terrain tiles. The completion of six Swedish generals can't really be called a project. The end result is:

Or graphically:



On the gaming front there were fourteen games played: four, Napoleonic, two WWII, two AWI, one each of American Civil War, 1920's Afghanistan, War of Spanish Succession, Imjin War, the Sudan and English Civil War.

So with painting dropping away the goal for the year is to play more games.
