No time for playing today but I played one turn anyway.
On Sunday, the game will begin in earnest.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

One Down and
A battle to go!
Even though I was keeping things simple, this gentleman was a bit more intricate than most of the figures I've done recently so I focused on getting him finished leaving the final touches on his buddy for later.
However, the desire to finish the stand before playing a game that would include them proved to be less strong than the urge to just play a game.
So the table is set for a small clash between advance guards. Maybe Saturday, maybe Sunday if Saturday is too busy.

Seek and Ye Shall Find
After searching through my bits&spares supply this morning, I was momentarily at a loss. Nothing that I found was what I would consider suitable for a lance. What to do?
I expanded the search of course!
Downstairs, in my casting/home repair area in the back porch, at the back of a rarely peeked at, but crammed, 'junk' drawer, I found 1.5 lengths of rigid florist wire left over from..5?....10?..years ago? Enough for 5 or 6 lances.
Painting has resumed but the figures are complex enough to paint that I am going to do each stand/unit (2 mounted figures) one at a time.
