That was 2021

Well I have had a quick canter back through my postings of 2021. I managed to publish over 100 which was a surprise.

I have tried to intermix one off posts with some that are serials.

“Intermission” was my idea of simply taking a break – 11 of them so about one a month. Most are nothing to do with wargames although a few touched on history.

The “Painting Pedestal” was my way of recording the fact that I was actually completing figures and basing them up. They included:

Piedmontese 1859

Bersaglieri 1848

Austrian Artillery 1859

Austrian Jaeger 1848

Garibaldini 1859

King Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia 1859

Brigata Consenz 1859

Brigata Dunne 1859

Piedmontese Line Infantry

Garibaldis Guides

Brigata Milano

Divisione Bixio

Neapolitan Cacciatori

Radesky Infantry Marches 1850

French Infantry 1848

Garibaldi Red and Blue Shirts 1848

Kleber French Dragoons 1800?

Russian Gaz Trucks WW2

Russian Infantry WW2

Bologna Volunteers 1859

2020 ended with Dark Ages, Vikings and Saxons in my mind, but already the seeds of a new project had rooted. So 2021 was all about the Wars of Italian Unification 1848 and 1859.

And it stayed that way till a chance purchase of an old small A5 rulebook on WW2 took me off to a side project.

At the same time I was sorely tempted to pursue another side project – scifi based.

Fortunately that has stalled and I can feel my side project on WW2 is probably reaching its natural conclusion.

So what does 2022 offer?

I think I will return to 1848/1859 Italian Unification Wars.

We shall see.

Whatever 2022 brings you – merry christmas and may all your wargame wishes come true!
