Ah HA!

I was trying to think up a scenario for my Gathering of Hosts, something different, and drawing blanks. Then a certain reader from Tragardland requested a reappearance of the Great Beastie, that made it even harder, until I finally remembered that the Midlands did NOT have to appear on every battlefield. In fact, the Free Folk were supposed to be as opposed to the Federation, esp Valdur, as to the Midlands. 

Problem solved! However, Valdur in particular is a little short on table top troops, Luckily, there are still a few veterans from the '70's, and new recruits from here and there, all needing modification, repair, and/or painting. 

Oh look! Rain!!!! We haven't had rain since early June!    Ohh, well, I'll just have to forgo outside chores and get on with repairs and painting, and a scenario..... work, work, work :)
