ITLSU 1914 Third Echelon disembarks

[pierre the shy]

My spies tell me that the third echelon should begin progressing shortly. 

We are (well I am at least  ) looking at tentatively putting on a game based on the action at Elouges (24 Aug 1914) at our local convention in August which will include these guys as I need a LOT of German Infantry for the game.

I better get cracking then

I got the bag of sorted Germans back out this morning and will get started on them as soon as I finish the additional terrain for the centenary of First Gaza 

[paulr]

Pierre the Shy I have some good news and some bad news

The good news is that I have finished the Gaza terrain
Roy and I laid it out yesterday 
We even worked out some possible victory conditions

The bad news is...



The Germans are still in their bag

In the bag here would me laying around dead drunk.

Pierre the Shy, I have some good news and some bad news...

The good news is I have made the cards for Gaza

More good news is I have updated the ITLSU QRS, including the Division HQ house rules

Even more good news is I finally took the last pictures of my pre-Dreadnoughts http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,15393.msg229341.html#msg229341

And the last of the good news is the reading you lent me is looking very interesting and promising

The bad news is...



The first batch of Germans have escaped their bag

106 figures prepared, washed and undercoated

I didn't get them base coated

Hope the Feldpolitzi don't catch them acting like that - they have battles to fight

Thanks for letting me know - might have to call in and "walk the ground" tomorrow after work if R doesn't mind 

[paulr]

I hear you managed to "walk the ground" for our Gaza game

Greatcoats dry brushed and helmet covers base coated

No progress on the Germans this weekend

I've been distracted by our Gaza game, http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,15766.0.html and looking at an ECW option

[paulr]

Finally got back to these

I've been distracted 'testing' Baroque for ECW

I dry brushed the helmet covers a while ago

Rifle stocks, leather equipment and packs painted today

I just need to finish the third part of the AAR of our Gaza game and I'll almost be out of excuses distractions

[paulr]

More progress on the Germans, all the detailing is done

Skin, touch ups and wash left to do

[paulr]

Skin and touch ups done

Wash tomorrow morning

Cheers - Phil
