I now have over 30 units, enough to fight Cannae if I wanted to.
The Carthaginians are coming along.
I still have 48 more gauls I need to paint from scratch, and 4 more Ligurians to "upgrade" a unit. I may also add a unit of gaulic cavalry. And, as I like play "To The Strongest," I need to paint some hero types. I did this for the Romans already. They can double for command stands too, if needed.
I finally painted some heavy artillery for my Germans.
Some of my Shermans are quite old, not painted by me, and generally not aesthetically pleasing to me anymore. So I painted up some new ones.
A while back, I ordered a bunch of painted soviets from Reinforcements by Post. Today I finally started basing them up.
I've been reading "When Titans Clashed" by David Glantz. I'm determined to get my Soviet forces together for a spring 2019 offensive using Rommel.
Speaking of Rommel, I've struggled with how I want to portray mountains. I was on the verge of gluing overhead pictures on 6 by 6 inch squares, but that was a little too board-gamey for my tastes. Since I use a tree or two in a square to indicate a forest, leaving enough room for the obligatory three stands of units, I thought perhaps I could take the same approach with mountains. Its the basic question of terrain that the minis stand on versus terrain that shares the space with the minis. Typically I put stands on top of hills, soft ground and rough ground features.
For mountains...
