Year in review 2019 and goals for 2020

2019 in review:
 Hobby wise the past year was most interesting.  I certainly painted less then the year before.  My favorite new units we actually command stands from Fife and Drum.  George Washington and William Howe came out great and are some of my better painting efforts.

   I also tried out building the new MDF kits. These are great!  They have graced mountable in numerous battles and always draw positive attention.

 I put on a number of games this year and had great fun doing so.  These include one from each of my collections. American Rev War, War of 1812 and Crimean War.  I am happy with my output and surprised I did so many.

Conventions:
Cold Wars 2019


So, what are my plans for for 2020?  Here is my goals and plans.

Battles:
I am looking to continue my roll of putting on more games this year.  For big games I would like to do a battle based on Lundy's Lane.  This will require some additional terrain items and how to fight in the dark.  also working on putting on Trenton and also Princeton for the Rev War.  Everyone at game night turn the club enjoyed my large Crimean war game so at least another one for another game night.  Is putting on a game a more too much to ask?

Painting:
Diverge American Rev War I have a number of figures bought and ready turn the painting table.  These include another
British Grenadier battalion and British Light Infantry battalion to round out my Cornwallis field force.  For the Americans I will be adding  4  Continental line battalions in Massachusetts bounty coats and mixed civilian clothing.  These will be for one of the New England brigades in 1776.  Another brigade will have mixed hunting shirts and regular uniforms.  If course this means I will be adding another division commander and two brigade commanders. I also have a group of civilians from Perry  miniatures as well as their camp group and the group interrogating a  captured officer.  The last add to give some life to the table top.  In war of 1812 I need to add more Native warriors.

MDF Buildings:
I have enjoyed building these MDF kits.  They are fun to do and look very nice on the table top when done.  I have picked up a couple kits to build in 2020.   Captain William Smith House from "Things in the Basement" is first on my list.  I spent a lot of time there during my time at Minute Man NHP.  I hope he adds some addition structures from the park to his collection.  I also picked up the Tidewater home from "Charlie FoxTrot. ". This will work well in southern campaign battles from the Rev War.

Terrain:
I will be adding some additional trees in based to my set up.  And a larger hill for my  Lundy's Lane battle I want to put on later this year.  Mandy a small pond or lake just because!

Conventions:
I will be attending the Seven Years War convention in April.  I have my room reserved and flights listed. Looking forward to it.  In would also like to attend two local conventions, Havoc in Massachusetts and Huzzar in Maine.

  Well, those are my goals and plans.  Let's see how I do.  In addition I enjoyed sharing reasearch posts I have done.  I have been working on a number concerning the fighting in 19 April 1775.  In the month of April u.plan on sharing these as well as a photo of some of
