Like most of miniature painters/gamers I have often
considered the fact that I game a lot less then I would like. There are a lot
of factors that contribute to this but I believe it boils down to often not
having the time. This is not a totally bad thing in and of itself in that I
have other hobbies and if they take time away from miniature gaming that’s fine
since I am also enjoying. I also really enjoy painting figures, even though I
am not that good at it, so I find that even if I do not game at least if I
paint I think of it as time well spent. That being said I would like to game
more, even solo if necessary, consequently I was intrigued by the release of
One Hour Wargames by Neil Thomas. I bought a copy from Amazon and have since
read them over although I have not tried them yet. The rules are very simple
and are more or less the same across periods with slight period modifications.
I intend to at least give them a try using some homemade period modifications.
If they lead to a bit more gaming I will consider the purchase a success.
I did find time a few weeks ago to take some photos of
the growing Austro-Prussian War 10mm Pendraken collection. The figures are
really fantastic and a joy to paint. The buildings are mostly timecast.
