I always enjoy reading them.<br /><br />I am probably being a bit too strict with myself about completing my Napoleonic project before I fight a campaign, but I may well give in a fight a short campaign if only to play-test my rules.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-3502246171597069182017-01-04T17:25:35.382+00:002017-01-04T17:25:35.382+00:00Hi Bob

Why not start a small project to test the water and encourage yourself to keep going?<br /><br />best regards<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-66109918822304447152017-01-03T08:36:06.134+00:002017-01-03T08:36:06.134+00:00Conrad Kinch,

Robertson,<br /><br />I find it interesting to look back every so often to see where I have been ... and sometimes to avoid repeating myself!<br /><br />I like to have several projects on the go at the same time so that I can switch back and forward between them if I get a bit jaded with one. The Napoleonic project is a good example of this. I have been collecting the figures for years, but only started renovating and basing them a couple of years ago. Last year I did quite a lot of work on the project, but don't expect to finish it until well into this year as I want to spend time on other projects.<br /><br />Now that my PORTABLE WARGAME project is coming to fruition I want to get the research for the Masonic history book I am writing well under way, although the deadline for finishing it is 2020!<br /><br />Good luck with your project, which looks and sounds very interesting.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-47793789351489457032017-01-02T10:33:06.525+00:002017-01-02T10:33:06.525+00:00Bob,

Pleased you near the Proof Reading stage of your Book- well done indeed. Cheers. KEV.KEV. Robertson.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03057624752614080866noreply@blogger.com
