My daughter ended up with Viral Pneumonia which meant a few days in hospital, then lucky for me I was then sick over the long weekend with said virus. So finally after 10 or so days off I have got the paints out again. I also squeezed in a game for the Rechburg Dynasty (http://rechburg.blogspot.co.nz/2012/10/battle-of-ulrichstein.html) in which I tried my hand at carrying a positions with the bayonet enforce. The only thing I carried was a crap load of crap dice - I was rolling 40 odd dice in a turn and was getting maybe 2x 6's, while Barry '6's' Taylor seemed to not get anything apart from a 6. Such is life - I took a chance and relied on luck and ended up with a bloody nose.

I shall endeavor to finish off these ww2 Japanese, I thought I needed figures but found a large bundle of SHQ 50mm mortars so was able to finish the first battalion. Below a 4 Company battalion, with attached weapons company and Regimental assets (MMG and 75mm gun). The figures are a mix of Airfix, Esci, Italeri and SHQ. I also need to plan how I decorate the bases as it will be jungle themed which I have never done before.
Take care.

The Jap's look very nice Paul. Glad to see you are painting some ACW too. Keep them coming.
Cheers Rodger.
Those 28mm ACW are quite addictive and so easy to paint (No Napoleonic lace !). I might nab another pack of Inf, 1 Cav and 2 guns just so they can all share a box.
Wouldn't mind seeing those ACW dudes en masse - Have to admit the thought is tempting. But with well over 1500 20mm plastic ACW figures of my own already, I don't really feel up to creating another ACW army in a different scale.
So when the big day comes, I'll simply have to be one of those onlookers going 'oooh' and 'aaah.'
