Merry Xmas

Almost One Month .. How 2015 is Shaping Up? (New Year's Resolutions)

New Year's Resolution#1: "To play 20 Games(*1) in 2015"

1. Computer Game: Age of Empires Castle Siege (and enjoying it)

(*1) These include: Tabletop Wargame (multi-player or solo), PBM or Computer Moderated, Multi-Player OnLine Game(s), Board Game (multi-player or solo) 

Note: Difficulty [Predicted Hard and still looks that way] :(

New Year's Resolution#2: "To finish 12 Modelling Projects(*2) in 2015"

1. Airfix Matilda II (Project Type [a]) Complete
2. Airfix Matilda II (Project Type [a]) Complete
3. AWI 28mm Painting Prototype Figure (Project Type [d])
4. AWI 28mm Regular Infantry Unit (14 Figures) (Project Type [c]) WIP (1 of 14)
5. Airfix Matilda II (Project Type [a]) WIP
6. StarGruntz GZG 15mm Infantry Platoon (10 Figures) (Project Type [c]) WIP (8 of 40)

(*2) Project Types: (a) making a larger scale model from kit in box to assembled [1/76+ vehicle or plane, 1/1200+ ship], (b) painting a larger scale an assembled model [see (a)], (c) painting a tactical squad of troops or small scale wargaming OoB element [1/200 or 1/300 micro-tanks or aircraft. 1/3000 scale ships], (d) Painting Prototype(s) for (c) if in-depth.

Note: Difficulty [Medium, though it is looking easy given the unexpected backlog/supply of Airfix "tanks" I have recently found in the loft I would say more easy]

New Year's Resolution#3: "To read 5 Wargaming Related Books(*3) in 2015"

• None! (As yet, though there is plenty of latent reading matter lying around the house, as my wife constantly reminds me) :(

(*3) This includes, new Rule Books, Historical Reference Books, Historical Novels, Campaign Histories, Books on Modelling Techniques excludes magazines

Note: Difficulty [Easy, er well I seem to have struck out in January, much to my surprise. My reading material seems to be my sons bedtime fiction, work (computing/busines books) and some general science]

New Year's Resolution#4: "To experiment with Digital Resources(*4) for my Hobbies"

1. Wargames Soldiers and Strategy Online YouTube Painting Tutorial Guides
2. YouTube Battleground Videos 
3. Age of Empires Castle Siege 

(*4) This includes "Getting a Kindle" (at some point), playing On-Line Games (which probably means getting a new computer) ... this could mean goodbye to some books, or at least not so many new ones!

Note: Difficulty [Medium, still medium]

Cor, this is quite a serious looking post, 2015 mapped out!
