2018, 2019: Looking Back and Looking Ahead!

Scottish Soldiers prepare to execute HDMP [Highland Decision Making Process]. 

Note DMAB [decision making assistance blades] being used to weigh the finer merits of various COA.
Note this is not as preferable as DMAW [Decision Making Assistance Whiskey]

looks like a raucous process but more energizing than contemporary U.S. Army MDMP...

2018 - a lot done, but not all goals accomplished
This was a busy blog in 2018, with 27 posts. January had 7 posts for micro-armor and "Oil Cheaper than Water" alone! The tally is thus:
- Micro Armor / OCtW rules - 15 posts
- Modern Skirmish / Terminator Genisys Rules - 6 posts
- WWII / Up the Blue WWII rules - 3 posts
- Malakand Field Force, Afghanistan 1898 in 54mm - one measly post
- a focus post on 2017 & 2018. Goals in 2018 were:
- to post more [done!]
Modern rules development [done! Oil Cheaper than Water got a bunch of play]
- painting my desert Brits [some progress - got my painting info organized here] 
- making more terrain, US WWII, and FFL v. Arabs [zero progress] 
came in at the bottom. Some priorities were derailed by spending a bunch of time on Terminator and modern skirmish in the last quarter.

I definitely need to do more 15mm WWII!


2019 Goals. Green are definite, Amber are desirable, Red is Stretch-goal
