2012 end of year report part 1 - what I said I was going to do

First up in my end of year report, let's take a look at my rash predictions from last year, and see where I got to...

Completing existing armies:

• Add a couple more cohorts and another unit of cavalry to my 28mm EIR - well, I managed the cavalry, but that was all
• Add another two warbands, some more cavalry, fanatics and chariots to my 28mm Brigantes - success (barring the cavalry)
• Add another squad with support weapons to my 28mm Wehrmacht (for Operation: Squad) - pass on the squad, fail on any support weapons
• Add another regiment of pike and shot to my 28mm Royalists - all I managed was two command figures, but then Gary at the club has ridiculous numbers of forces

New armies:

• Napoleon At War 18mm French - at least two infantry brigades plus cavalry plus artillery - nope: never quite got round to it, despite the fact the French Chasseurs have been undercoated for a year+!
• 28mm Parthians (largely Wargames Factory Persian light cavalry plus A&A cataphracts). Waiting on Armies of Antiquity 2 to see what else I need. - likewise
• Some 28mm Gladiators for Warhammer Historical's ruleset - nope
• 28mm British Commandos for Op: Squad - nope
• 28mm Russians ditto - nope
• 28mm Normans - for SAGA and a possible club campaign - yes, although currently they're doing duty as Christian Spanish

Scenery:

• I should buy some so I can game at home - well, I've made a start
• Paint up/flock the Citadal modular hill I have - done!
• Try constructing some 28mm buildings - not done
• Ditto bocage for Operation: Squad - no, but I have the raw materials to make some in 15mm

Rulesets to acquire/check out:

Buy:

• Operation: Squad - Vehicles (and Reinforcements when it's out) - bought, but somewhat disillusioned with the system in non-tournament play
• Hail Caesar - bought, as well as the supplements

Test:

• Napoleon At War - not yet, but this coming year, honest
• Gladiator - not yet

Other stuff

• Get the *deleted* workshop organized so I can keep track of all this stuff! - well, it's a lot tidier than it was
• Sort out some means of spraying indoors while it's cold! - not yet, but considering it
• Wargamers Pledge. Watch this space! - erm... *shuffles feet*. Yes, well.

Well, from a completing my original aims perspective, that's definitely 5/10, could do better. But... that doesn't begin to cover the awesomeness that was 2012. Watch this space.
