Eccles is normally the venue for the 5th and final round in November and last year it was absolutely freezing. Thankfully, this year the second Eccles round was held on a beautiful sunny day in early September. I even decided to wear shorts!
I arrived nice an early, got a good parking spot and helped set up the tables before making the first of many cups of tea.
I have a two-day competition in October: "The King in the North" held in Haxby, a small village outside York. As the day draws near I've begun getting things ready. To be honest I've been getting ready for a while now.
I've been surprised at just how much preparation is required so I thought I'd record what I've been up to. I suppose one of my former professional roles, as a project manager, is well to the fore in what follows.
This is something of a first: a 28 mm figure!
As regular readers will have seen, I usually paint 15 mm figures but for some strange reason I was overcome by an urge to paint something larger. So, when I was shopping for a few random 15 mm command figures, I strayed into the 28 mm portion of the web shop and bought a super sized commander for my Art de la Guerre (ADLG) Arab army.
In this post, which I admit falls into the category of "a blogger writing about blogging", I want to discuss the history of, and one possible future for, blogging from the standpoint of a wargamer and hobby blogger.
I'd also like to touch on the impact of the ever changing world of social media on the popularity of blogs.
I know I've been writing about this, and related topics, a lot recently, so if it's not your cup of tea just skip this post. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
