Sorry no painting!

Well you Know it has been hot! For me far to hot. I sit in the same place to paint and I drip! OK I have started some figures for Matt. So expect some Burpas by the end of the week.

Change of Subject 1

Yesterday at the club we gave "What a tanker" another game. They decided I was not to have a tank destroyer this time. (thanks Richard). They also for a change decided Russian front.  I started in a German Tank lasted a turn and a half and was shot and no save and as we had unequal numbers I was then started in a T26. The lowest level Russian tank possible. I think they may have regretted it 3 kills later.

Here are my Tank Crews

British A13                                 1 Kill
            A13 (Second vehicle)     1 Kill    

Russian T26 B                            3 Kills         

German Panzer 2 A-C                Dead
              Panzer 35t                     Dead
              Panzerjager 1                4 Kills

So I can always have at least 1 tank with at least 1 kill in future games OF THE SAME TIME PERIOD. Not boasting but few other players at the club have gotten more than a single kill in a game. So at present I have a target painted on me and ALL players are trying to get me to some extent.  I bet they get me soon and with much celebration.


Change of Subject 2

Due to ease of building I will be going for option B, the Hidden Valley for the "Pulp Alley" game board. But I also plan to float an airship over the board to emphasis the height! At this stage DINOSAURS will be at a minimum. (Sorry Michael) but this will allow me anything from Victorian explorers all the way back to Cro-Magnum man and everything in between. SoTim shall be allowed Aztecs and Matt shall be allowed British Royal Navy! And Kev can (if he chooses) have Undead Egyptians!

Who knows what everyone will pick!

That's it for now too hot to sit in the sun typing!

All the best Clnt

    Great kill tally Clint, way to paint a bullseye on all your tanks ! LOL
    Look forward to seeing the board progress, as that's a great rock formation

      Thank you Dave. I was looking at your Dragon graveyard. If It was half the size I would get it! But as it is i's too large for this board. I shall have a look at the Dragons nest though in hope I can fit that in.

      The Dragon graveyard is very nice, just a shame it is too large in this instance.

    Far too hot to paint Clint, I totally agree. I could have painted all day Sunday, but couldn't stump up the energy! You'll be getting a name at the Club with all those Tank kills to your name?!?

      Thanks Bryan. I am sure some will be gunning for me now! But all the while they go for me will allow my team to score kills and with luck they will become the target!

    So you're definetly a bit of a tanker now (I think that's what your mates said).
    Always good to have a winning reputation in games - makes for great banter.
    And as for the subject matter you should remember the phrase "I'm sorry, but I never apologise".

      Thank you Joe. I believe they use harsher terms than that sometimes to my face! But it is all meant in gest so no problem.

    I must admit the heat is slowing me down a bit too, as fro the Pulp Valley, sounds good, even without dinosaurs. ;)

      Thank you Michael. I hope it will allow me a 3 d board as most wargames I find fairly 2d>

    I’m sure the others will just be lining up to be your next target, like fish in a barrel mate! Well done, some impressive stats right there.
    Pulp Valley sounds good (yes I know I voted for the other one, but I can be the bigger man...)

      Thank you Andy. I suspect they will all come on in a rush so I only get the chance to shoot one! But they will be timid until the first one has a try! (Depends on the players of course some players are fool hardy.

      As for Pulp valley in my head it already looks great! Now I just have to make it so!

      Thank you Lee. I think I need to paint some targets on my tank. Although I suspect I will not need to! I may also model a flag on it, just to make it even clearer..... After all to quote the Red Baron "A man should not be afraid of his enemies!" I on the other hand am a complete chicken and will hide at every opportunity!
