Apologies for the lack of posts this week: been very busy with real-world work.

As an example, I had a big battle this morning (Scenario #3B from Vyazma or Bust!) and was too tired to set it up last night: had just put the final figure down on the deployment table when the doorbell rang and the first of my four guests-players arrived. Great game: AAR follows within a day or two.

In the meantime, here's another update for the Painting Challenge. Today we have entries from:

Andrew Helliwell with lots of 15mm foot
Matt Slade with more DC Comics figures and some nice ACW Confederates
Steve Burt with some more Napoleonics
Dave Humm submits his first entry for the year: a mixed bag of ancients, WW2, moderns and ACW figures in two different scales
Mr Naylor pops in another Soviet WW2 platoon
Andy Duffell is big into his 28mm WW2 vehicles at the moment. Here's another five.
Andrew McCarthy also sends in a bit of a mass entry: ancients figures and some scratchbuilt buildings
Mr Bairos is another lurker who emerges from the deep: lots of 28mm Napoleonics but no pics
And Mr Douglas sends another four-score or so of US troops to the front

Today's picture is from Mr Helliwell: some nice ACW figures from Peter Pig:
