"For once", may need to be added to the title. With the almost certainty that Chain of Command 2 will be coming soon. . .The running joke is "Easter", I have decided to look at my 15mm figures and actually play a campaign. I have gone into the library and decided on the Pint Size Campaign of "29, Let's Go!" While I have lot's of figures for both the US and Germans, I need to get them based for use and set up in the appropriate platoons. I also have, from the Flames of War days, many many tanks of both sides. Looking over the platoon lists and support lists, I find I am a bit short. So, aside from taking the PDF campaign to the printer for a copy to have for ref in the hobby room, I made a list of required supports for both sides. This was not as extensive as I had thought, though by no means simple or cheap to gather, but, I needed to actually as the title suggests, Get Serious! Which means I have to go to the hobby room and actually put eyes on the stuff. Hmm. I seem to have less finished figures than I thought, but far more German figures than I imagined! I have ALL I need for the Germans, it was the American forces that needed attention, especially in the heavy weapons category, i.e. .30, .50 cal machine guns. So, I ordered a box of Plastic Soldier Company American heavy weapons. *EDIT PSC 15mm are tiny! I have some FOW figures and while they are heroic scale 15, the PSC are just too little* Now I felt I was ready. Oh, but wait! There was the matter of terrain. That little detail that pulls you up short. So, going back to the PDF I looked over the maps for the various scenarios. Which made another list. As I am a snow bird, and going to warmer climes, the list may take a bit to finish. Which may mean I work on terrain instead of figures in the sunny south west. I do have some suitable buildings, but lack hedges and trees. So, off we go on the terrain kick!
Just picked up my copy of 29! Let's go! from the printer. I have had the PDF version for a while, but need to carry it around, and who doesn't want a copy to hold? And it lies flat! Love my Printer family! So far I believe. . .I can start painting!
