We're hoping to take the game to Crisis in Antwerp in November. If we're accepted and we can wangle a bigger table (!) then I think we'll up the figure count a bit more and try playing the game, probably using Piquet. Not Anchor of Faith, though, as we've tried it and - sorry Mark - hated it. Andy Copestake of Old Glory keeps telling me to play Forlorn Hope but I'm afraid to: what if we catch the ague of Pete Berry and convert to 6mm? My God.

Next steps are causing a bit of dissension. Conrad wants to do Nordlingen, in order that he can field his burgeoning Spanish horde, but that means me painting an entire new 'Swedish' army, as none of my Lutzen units fought at Nordlingen, except perhaps the remnants of the Old Blue and Yellow brigades. Breitenfeldt is an obvious candidate, other than it being twice the size of Lutzen, meaning yet more painting. I also have a ton of naked Polish lead to address. Hussars. I must be mad.

All in all, it's been a bit of an odyssey, with plenty of downs as well as ups, but at least I've achieved the initial aim: I've painted my Swedes!.
