2020 - A year in review

 So this year has been.... interesting.

It started of with me promising myself that I would squeeze more wargaming in....

Then came a busy period of work, then the Covid pandemic and as a result I think I've had 3 wargames this year, one game each of Flames of War, Team Yankee and Star Wars Armada.

One the plus side with all the lookdowns, I've had a lot more time to model, build and paint stuff. This has meant I've completed a career best 203 models completed this year, which I think is more than I've bought this year!

It started off last year with Zombicide, where I completed all my models for this game. Other notable milestones:

- Completing all my built, unpainted Soviet Vehicles (I acquired a lot second hand)

- Finally finishing my Desert Honey Stuarts, which were a project which had dragged on way too long. Using this as motivation to get all my Desert British stuff painted.

- Painting all my Team Yankee British stuff (Then buying more, doh!)

- Completing the Necromunda models and having a big photo session

- Starting to paint some different stuff as a palate cleanser (Trains, Fantasy Figures, Roman officers) 

- Finally, starting a model railway.

I've finished the year with a monster building session, as I'd like to get the airbrush out while I'm on leave, and there's lots of stuff I want to paint with it, largely German and Jordanian vehicles, I've also used this to get some other projects ready to go, like the US Glider infantry, to complete my US Parachute force (Although I could see myself acquiring a Sherman Platoon for them at some point).

As a result, I should hopefully be able to make a good start getting some stuff painted in the new year. Hopefully I can maintain the progress and have this lot painted up by mid-year. Hopefully the new year will have more gaming and less plague!
