Working 9 to 5...

Well work has taking its toll on the painting last week. I have not made it so far as I wanted but I can still finish the regiment this week. The decision to streamline a bit more gives the effect that it goes a bit faster to paint since I don't need to change colour as often as before. I still have the haversack, skin and metal to paint.

The planing of Corinth goes forward and I had all the miniatures I need in my stash so no need to order more. At least not yet... I have also read the rules "Altar of Freedom" that is a brigade level game as is Volley & Bayonet. The rules are for 6mm but I will test it with my 10mm and see how it plays. A few interesting ideas in there that should be fun to test. The major strength with the rules are the many scenarios that you can get. About 40 of them while Volley & Bayonet don't have that support, sadly, since I really like those rules.
 The troops that I need for the Union.
The battlefield for Corinth. The board is only 72x72cm so small and nice...

While I paint I like to listen to music or have a film or documentary in the background. This time I have a documentary about the Civil War, how appropriate! 
 It is an okey documentary and if anyone of you out there have a suggestion on a good documentary about the Civil War, please leave a comment below.

  1. The Altar of Freedom is interesting rules. What I lack in the rules are; formation, command radius and some kind of skirmish factor. Otherwise they seem to be very good and fun. Good luck with gaming.

    1. Hi Magnus
      I can agree with you on all the points you make. In Volley & Bayonet a brigade can not function normally if their Division Commander is not in command range and can direct them. I like that a lot. There are rules for skirmish in the V&B rules which I like but I have never tested them in a game so don´t really know what they can do, live on the table. But I like the idea in AoF that you can control how long the turn will last and therefore force you're opponent to make moves that he normally won't do. But I will try the rules out and after that I can hopefully give a better thought about the rules and what I think about them.

    1. Thanks tjub! Will look in to this. I am done now with what I got and have started to watch Gettysburg again. It is a very good movie in my opinion but I have seen it a lot now :). Hmm North and South maybe...
