2026: The Grand and Glorious Plan!

Yep. Sam is back. He is kicking ass and taking names - and he is finally running out of names and will be (hopefully) kicking more ass as he looks for Charlie.

Happy New Year! Each year I develop a plan (What? You were a Joint Operational Planner in your last years in the military?) to focus my hobby activities and this year is no different. On with the plan!

1. Phase 3 of the Boxer Rebellion Project for The Men Who Would be Kings. To complete my Chinese Field Force for the Boxer Rebellion I'm going to add two Boxer units of 16 figures each. The Boxers will be from Crusader Miniatures Boxer Rebellion Range.

2. The American War for Independence in the South. As a military historian I had a special interest in the AWI in the South (harrumph, published papers, etc.). I have down the AWI in miniature twice in 25/28mm and now I'm going to do it again using Warlord Games Epic Revolution range of 13.5 mm figures. The British and American armies will be representative of he armies that fought in the last years of the war in the South. I will post later on the planned organization of the two forces.

The first unit completed is the Musketeer Regiment von Bose of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel which famously fought back to back during the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. German troops comprised 1/3 of units for the British Army during the AWI.

 3. The Search for Charlie. Listen up! The Quest is on for 2026. Yep . . . finally. And the bad guys are wetting their pants.

4. Terrain. I just realized I have no 15mm terrain for the AWI. Hmmm . . . In addition a key piece of terrain will be built for "The Search for Charlie" that will be needed later in the adventure.

5. Games, Games, Games.

In addition to our Pulp Campaign "The Search for Charlie" there will be action in the Peninsular during the Napoleonic Wars, China in the 1900's, back to the NW Frontier in 1897, the English Civil War, some Unmatched and why not - some WH40K action.  Depending on progress maybe even the AWI.

Short and focused. Let's see what happens.
