Updates: Brave Little Belgium, Rebasing, Book printing.

 Here is an update of what I am doing

1) Printed and played Brave Little Belgium 

This Hollandspiele game is a fast playing introductory board-wargaming concerning the German invasion of Belgium in 1914. I very much like it, and worked on printing my Print and Play version (though I think it is worth just getting a physical copy). We played at XP Games with Darren, who enjoyed it. One of my ambitions has been to create a small collection of fast play wargames (both for my use and class use). This is a start. 

2) Rebasing! When in lack of action or money, a wargamer can always keep themselves active with rebasing. (Or perhaps it is the curse of the idle minds). Since I decided to focus on smaller table scenarios and actions, I wanted to rebase my Greek and Ottoman 1897 forces from there 20x20 mm square bases to 40x20mm bases, as the second are more accommodating to spectacle. I have rebased most of my Greek infantry and need to do the Ottomans. I will need to purchase some more figures to bring the armies to a look I want (including 1) limbers or mule trains for guns 2) dismounted cavalry 3) more irregular infantry).

3) Altar of Freedom book collection complete. Finally got printed all of the pdf books I had purchased for Altar of Freedom. This includes the rule book, and the two scenario volumes in one book. I also have printed Gibraltar of the West. My 10mm ACW forces were based in my usual 20mmx20mm schema and are located with Nacho in Turkey. At first chance I will bring them back and re-base them to 60x30mm. That should permit me to enjoy some of the smaller scenarios, plus the campaign system. 

4) Reading and Writing: I have not been able to do much work on the scenarios. Gilikson 1847 has maps, and oobs done, but I have not had the chance to re-read on the battle to set up description, special rules etc. I am reading Peter Cozzen's book on Chatanooga. I did read this useful summary of the events o the Turkish Great Offensive of 1922. (In Greek).

That is the news.
