Where was I in 2017. Plans for 2018.

So I was largely absent from this blog for most of 2017. We had a lot of stuff happen in 2017 that took time away from my hobbies.
Jan-Feb we went on a trip to the Philippines to visit family for about a month.
Mar-Apr we moved from Missouri to North Carolina and bought out first house.
Sep our second son was born.
Oct-Nov I was at a leadership course in order to promote, and had my in-laws visit for a month.
So been busy.
For 2018 I want to get back focused on this great hobby. There is a good bit of interests amongst my co-workers and I have started a Historical Wargamers Club though the base.

Thats not to say I was totally absent from the hobby as I did get a few games in of Bolt Action and WW1/2 Wings of War/Glory. I had also started on a large modular dungeon terrain set using Hirst Arts molds but it has been shelved for time being.


I have started work on a 4x6 mat for wings of war/glory.

 


 I reorganized my hobby room though the temp inside it limits work time even with a little space heater.


My wife got me a nice little display case for Christmas. There is a Plexiglas front but could not take a photo through it due to glare. But now I can proudly display a sample from all my historical collections.

I have also gotten back into D&D and started my own campaign with guys from work. Its inspired by the computer game Darkest Dungeon and is set in a custom made area in the Forgotten Realms. Below is a map of the area my players with spend all their time in.

Marry Christmas and Happy New Year from me and my Family!

It is a pain when real life gets in the way of the hobby. Really good that you have some work colleagues interested.
