Goals for 2025

I didn't paint anything I think and didn't get much games in 2024, but I hope to get some moving in 2025. I did learn how to play Glory is Fleeting but that was the only wargame I played in 2025. 

I have moved my gaming table to a location I can actually use it, and I've got all my terrain in place and painting supplies ready to begin. 

I still need to get a new cheap bookcase to move all my RPG, wargame and history books to be close to the table in one room.

My wargaming goals for 2025:

1: Build, paint and deploy to the battlefield, a 1000-1250 sized Bolt Action army of the Australian 6th Division circa 1941 North Africa. Aiming for 1100 as that is the Cancon tournament size, though I won't make it, or have it ready for Cancon 2025. I believe I have all the figures and vehicles for it already.

2: Buy, Build and Paint an Italian 10th army 1941 as an Opfor. I have most of the troops and 1 tank.

3: Get some solo games running of both these armies and blog them. 

4: Get a game or two at a local gaming club for Bolt Action

5: Far future - deploy the army to a tournament.

 

6: Get the Warlord Epic Waterloo figures out and play some solo games with them to learn some Black Powder.

 

7: Paint both armies. This is very much a far future thing.

 

8: Get my Glory is Fleeting Anglo-Portuguese army to some tournaments and get some games with Dave.

9: Actually GET my Battletech: Mercenaries box from CGL. I will believe it when I see it.  

10: Start making videos of solo game play and get them uploaded to YouTube. There is a lot I need to learn, and I probably need a new phone and a stand for it. I hate shaking cam! Learning editing and effects is going to be very challenging too. 

11: Paint some backgrounds for pictures and videos using Bob Ross techniques. This is going to take a lot of practice. 

 

12:  Get WW2 training pamphlets from Caviler books on how to do a platoon and company sized attack and defence. All the ones I can find on the internet involve a platoon attacking a single(!) enemy emplacement.  I want to know  and learn how a company attacks another company of equal size.

13: My greatest wish: Play a wargame and teach my 7 year old son and see him enjoy it. Maybe next decade.
