Yeah i know its called soccer.... but i dont mean the Premiership
We were sent a copy of THW (Two Hour Wargames) GridIron rules, its unpublished and will probably stay so, but it is what the guys wrote first of all and then developed all the rest from (5150, ect) . So we obviously combined it with all the lovely new hex terrain from the HeroScape boxes that keep appearing in the boot of my car... WOW we gamed for 10 hours on Thursday, came up with a Campaign system which basically breaks the game down into 3 hour sessions, with 4 sessions to a complete game.... 2 games to the Season... so it would appear we know have a Thursday night Football session planned for a couple of months, first tho we have to draft our teams from the pool of players generated. Much fun is being had here so far, a real 'Old School' feel of fun, players already have nicknames, stolen from history 'the fridge' 'jellyfish'.
On the painting table are the 10mm Austrians still, less than 200 to finish now, the Pendraken stuff arrived and is mostly based for painting, lots of Pandours, Jagers, Cavalry and unit of Jacobite Highlanders, along with some militia unit from the packets of trrops i accidentally ordered instead of Hussars, D'oh... still need to buy 3 packets of Pendraken Hussar and the commands for the Old GLory Cavalry...
Graham collected the latest batch of 28mm Napoleonics i have painted for him, just anoth 350 to go by Christmas then he will drop off some more.... all praise the Pledge.
The Pledge is going well... end of month7 and 750 28mm figures (or equivalents) are painted and finished, 5 months to go.... 1000 is almost certain to be reach by the end of September at this rate... could i really make 1500 for end of the year.... the bank manager would be pleased if i did.
oh, pictures.... well we had a to buy a new laptop (screen failed on the old one.... so throw it away as a new one is cheaper to buy than the old one is to repair, go figure) and all the pictures are on the old one.... so the pictures will come along soon.
cheers Shaun

For recovering the pictures, you might want to purchase a cheap external hard drive enclosure made to hold a laptop size hard drive. I've got one I bought on sale for $10 or so, because I eventually need to get a bigger drive for my laptop and want to be able ot transfer all the files off the old one. I don't know your level of computer savvy, so forgive if I over-explain. :>
External hard drive enclosure shouldn't be confused for the external hard drives. The enclosure's an empty case into which you can slip an existing drive. So you'd take the hard drive out of your old laptop, put it into the enclosure, and attach the enclosure to the new laptop. It should be recognized as another drive, after which you should be able to move files from one to the other.
