I’ve painted a couple of the anthropomorphic animals from Oathsworn Miniatures and some characters for our RPG group. Recently, I’ve also started to enjoy painting single 28mm figures. Recently Stefan, an old pal of mine, has rejoined the hobby, and he kindled the Man O’ War fever – Virago and Sigur also joined in, so what could I do? I’ve now got a Dwarf fleet waiting to be painted… Coming back to my gaming table in 2018! The second project is to paint a fleet for Man O’War. At first, I wanted to use Black Powder, as I liked the game we played at the club, but I have since browsed the rules and the ACW supplement and got a bit angry… but more on that some other time. At the moment, I’m leaning towards Pickett’s Charge, but I also consider They Couldn’t Hit An Elephant and Longstreet. I’m still pondering about what rules to use. Period illustration of the Battle of Olustee Also, it ties in nicely with my interest in the USCT. It was a rather small affair – three small brigades plus some cavalry and artillery on the Union side, and about the same for the Confederates. To give the collecting and painting a focus, I decided to do the Battle of Olustee. I want to extend my collection so as to be able to play regimental-level actions. One might say that the first is a natural outgrowth of my continuing interest in the American Civil War. Thanks to everyone who played games and shared the hobby with me!įor 2018, I’ve got two new projects. I’m also glad that I had the opportunity to play a couple of games of Songs of Blades and Heroes (respectively Flashing Steel) – a game that has been a continuous favorite of mine for several years now. Empires in America, The Cousins’ War and Zombicide are my favorites among those, but many others have been enjoyable. I’ve also played quite a lot of new games. Not only do we both enjoy it very much, we also realised that SP is a game that really profits from being played often – the more experience you have, the easier you remember the rules and the smoother the game runs along, letting you concentrate on decision making, command & control and the narrative. I started tracking my gaming on BoardGameGeek in May and since then, I’ve played 16 games of SP – this is double as much as the next game on my list, Battle Cry! I’ve had the opportunity to teach SP to a couple of new players, but most of my games I played with K. Looking back at my gaming, 2017 definitely was the year of Sharp Practice. I hope that I will find more time and inspiration for the blog in 2018! I know that, with the new job and all, my blogging declined a bit towards the end of the year. Thanks for dropping by and reading, browsing and commenting! It really is very motivating to see that someone else is interested in what I do. In fact, looking at the statistics, it was the best year ever.
