Anderida 2010

As weekends go that was fun but tiring. Tim and I took part in the Anderida competition at the same venue in Farnborough as the 1 Day competition in September.

This was Fog doubles event (850 points) and for armies out of the 'Swifter Than Eagles' book only. We took Hittite empire with an impresive 20 heavy and 4 light chariots excluding generals. Despite this we lost all 4 games, although quite how we managed to lose the last one is a bit of a mystery.

Despite this, we had a good weekend, and won the 'Gallant Losers' trophy. We both agreed that doubles comps are more laid back and are planning to go to some more next year.

Busy Month

May and June were a bit busy in real life, so I only got one army sold, some Hittites. July on the other hand was much more productive.

I got rid of a SYW Swedish army in one lot. Representing just ust about the largest force Sweden could have fielded at the time, and all based for Koenig Krieg. I was't certain about this, but now it's gone it's gone. I also sold DBA Neo-Hittites, Sea Peoples and more Hittites, and again all of these were from surplus figures.

I also found out about the Essex 3 for 2 offer in July, so I bought a total of 9 DBA armies from them for future painting. I'm so much into the routine now that I managed to sell the first of these, the Gauls, yesterday on Ebay.

That's my lot for a few weeks though, I'm off on holiday at the weekend.
