The traditional "What I didn't achieve in 2025" post

I've noticed if you compare the traditional "what I plan to do in the new year" post with what actually happened, well, it's different :-)

On the other hand 2025 was quite productive. I painted a French Napoleonic Army for Sharpe Practice, A German VolksGrenadier for Chain of Command, a couple of Squadrons for Blood Red Skies and a Greek force for Mortal Gods. Not too bad really.

Looking forward into 2026 I'm hoping to :

a) Survive

b) Round out my Soviets for Chain of Command \ Bolt Action. Yes I hope to be playing Bolt Action this year. I'm not abandoning Chain of Command, but the local group is interested in BA so I am "tooling up" by rummaging around in my spares box to see what is needed to make a viable Soviet mid-late war list. I had some female AA troops which was a side project from the old Stalingrad games (1077th AA Regt) so I think if I add some prints and plastics from the spares box I should get a viable list.

c) Back to Quar - my old and much loved Quar got stolen (sob) and I've been waiting for the release of the new hard back rules due "soon" before getting back into that.

d) Spanish Napoleonics. I want to paint a Spanish Napoleonic force for Sharp Practice. I already have the models.

e) WW2 Brits if I get around to them

So there you go - hopefully, conditional on a) I may get the others done or started, but then again based on previous years. probably not


Cheers, hope everyone has a better 2026 than last year!
