 Plans for 2025

These really do depend on how we get on with the hotel conversion to HMO back in Swansea! Last year I spent nearly 180 days in the UK almost enough to mean I wasn`t tax resident in Spain! To say the least this compromised my plans for 2024 😔

Assuming everything goes to plan, we hope to back in Spain and mostly retired by March, at which point I will proceed with a basic plan for the year:

1. play one game a month (see note A)

2. write more (see note B)

3. build and paint the plastic kits and resin models & various figures, I`ve bought during my downtime from our hobby back in Wales (see note C)

Notes

A: I continuously come up with idea and scribble down notes, I have several scenarios of various sizes ready to go, but will need more

B: I have four (4) larger articles - The Spanish 1908/09 Melilla Campaign in Morocco, The battle of Taxdirt (Morocco) 1909, The Russo-Japanese War 1904/05 and a comparison piece about Goumier in 20mm; all in the various writing/editing phases plus a few tabletop scenarios at various stages of completion. I will also continue my local history posts, book and film reviews to try and keep things fresh and interesting.

C: I`ve amassed some 14 plastic kits plus a few resins vehicles plus various terrain bits and maybe 200 figures, these cover all aspects of my hobby. I`ll try and paint these to suit the games I want to play and hopefully include new models in those games I play.
