Your video made me chuckle because it reflects my gaming life completely over the past view years. I have been more reactionary than proactive due to the many changes in my life and the flux within our local gaming group. I still manage to be productive, but not nearly as focused as I would like to be. I always like being more prepared for everything but have gotten quite good at flying by the seat of my pants.

As have become more philosophical about projects these days, acting on the Plan can be for the challenge also particularly if it is self imposed. As for the analogue painting challenge hopefully Curt is visiting me here in France at the end of the month. My self I am thinking Napoleonic, barons wars or Dark Ages myself for the challenge and this time will be in Europe at least. Cheers Matt W

Sometimes there's just too much going on...Big Black Dragon? Nasty! In the field, I like to have a plan... but when it comes to projects, they usually don't survive contact with reality. 🤪 Things will get better again... hopefully. 😉

Discombobulation? Only the last three or so years... though it is getting better. Hobby stuff should be an escape from the stresses of everyday life. I (try to) feel no obligation to work on any of my various projects, so when I can grab a bit of time it's a pleasure rather than a chore.

I'm always busy with work and family... trying to get a game in once a month..

I suggest a look at the ECW instead. The ECW site of the battle of Maidstone isn't far from where you are I think. And there is always the lead pile to brush through.

Wargames Atlantic are producing more 100yrs 10mm range and a new rule Grand Battle ruleset if that tickes your fancy, or are you commited to 6mm and which rule sets do you use for Ancients/Dark Ages/Medieval and ofc why those?
