Pledge Update - I'm winning!

   It's hard to believe it, but I am actually ahead on my figure count. Not on my vehicles, but I will start really working on that soon, with my OGRE miniatures. What has really made the difference is finishing off an entire Soviet Motor Rifle Company of infantry, including support weapons.

1x Command Stand, 3 figures (officer, radioman, other)

9x RPG-7 Stands, 18 figures (9x RPG-7 gunner, 9x assistant)

10x AK-47 Stands, 40 figures (5x NCO, 5x RPK LMG, 30x AK-47)

1x SA-7 "Grail" Stand, 6 figures (3x SA-7 gunners, 3x assistants)

2x PKM MG Stands, 12 figures (6x PKM gunners, 6x assistants)

  I have almost finished the first five T-64s as well. I will probably end up with about 12 or 15 of these in the end.

Found more books

This time around, it's a bunch of Osprey Men At Arms series books for Napoleonic Wars. Sixteen of them to be precise. So that's pretty great.

This is one of them.

I also found a couple of wooden bookcase editions of boardgames. Stratego and Clue. And that's pretty nice too. But I still haven't located my copy of Arkham Horror or the supplements that went with it. And I have noticed some odd gaps in my minis collection. For example, I have one Matilda II, where I should have three. And one of my Valentine IIs is missing. And four (!) of my Honeys, as well as both of the M3 Stuarts I painted for my USMC force. I am hoping I forgot them at a friend's house a while back... because if not, it means I left them at a game store over a year ago. They're gone if that's the case.

Getting close to done unpacking

   I'm getting pretty close to being finished with the unpacking process of the game room. Which means I am getting close to figuring out what all I actually lost in the flooding.

   It's discouraging.

   I'm fairly certain that I lost virtually all of my GURPS materials. That includes my original copy of Man to Man and Orcslayer (which I just found on eBay and snapped up). It also includes tons of homemade (a la GURPS Vehicles) vehicles and weapons. Literally hundreds of designs spanning almost thirty years, and including stuff my sons made when they were kids. I hate floods.

And some more minis

   A few bits and bobs here. I got some more Bolt Action figures finished today too but I haven't taken photos yet. I will get those up next time, I promise.

A trio of Minotaur Howitzers. This particular battery is based out of Mexico

in the North American Combine, hence the flag on the concrete pads.

(OGRE, 6mm sci-fi)

A Republic of Wales medium machinegun team.

These are Territorial Army forces.

(Very British Civil War, figures by Warlord)

A repainted Fast Food Restaurant for Team Yankee.

When I get the sign on it, it will be a Waffle Haus.

Thinking about trying to do some window inserts, too.

(Battlefield in a Box, from Battlefront, repainted by me)

Finally, a humble cart for Pathfinder or D&D, or any RPG

More game room photos

  So here are a few more pictures of the game room, which is coming together nicely. It would go faster if the kids didn't keep having friends over for D&D and moving stuff around so much...

The finished RPG table, with drawers, cupholders, power outlets, dice trays...

Oh, and the dragon light on the wall, which I love.

The finished Wargame Table - note the storage underneath, very handy

Framed OGRE blueprint from Kickstarter

More art - Historicon program covers. I have a few more I need to re-frame and hang.

Rugby stuff in the entry hall. Signed US Eagles jersey and a Houston Sabercats

Inaugural Season poster

I still need to put up some curtains to control temperature better (and provide better mood for the RPG corner). And fix the projector. ANd finish upnpacking boxes and arranging stuff. And I am still on the lookout for a good Galaga/Ms PacMan arcade game...
