There is a cycle to most things; that whole "Circle Of Life, Simba" malarkey for one thing. The ever-changing selection of goodies in my veg box, reflecting the passing seasons for another. Not to mention the change in wargaming activities also brought upon by the changing seasons.
Not for this wargamer the dubious delights of being stuck inside on a glorious day like today. No, today has been about those healthy outdoor activities such as undercoating, cleaning up figures and making models, which can all be undertaken in the sunny outdoors. Thus, a fine crop has been sown for the painting reaper come Autumn, Winter and less inclement weather (or some such poorly extended farming metaphor).

In prosaic terms, the final 25 CDs-worth of jungle have been completed for the foreseeable future; they'll get an outing in our Darkest Africa campaign. Sticking with Darkest Africa, some Masai got undercoated, as did-for Charlie Don't Surf- some Peter Pig NVA and M113s picked up at Salute 2012. The whole undercoating mix was finished off with some jerrycans, oil drums and crates picked up a while back (from Skytrex?) which are intended for use as scatter the next time we have a crack at an NVA assault on a US firebase. Whatever one makes of S. L. A. Marshall, once can't deny his account of Bird has tremendous possibilities...
