an update on my thumb
Before I dislocated it, I didnt realise how much I used the bloody thing. Without my left thumb I cant do anything. All my hobby related interests use my thumb, painting, writing, weight training , martial arts. The only thing I have managed to do is go running with my dog.I went back to the hospital for some more Xrays and they reckon I will have my cast off in three weeks. I dont know if my sanity will last that long?!?!?!
So what have I been doing...? well not a lot......
I have started a few articles for the blog, they all just need finishing off. Mainly I have been watching DVDs. Western wise I watched Appolosa, a very good film based around a lovely town, plenty of ideas for extra buildings when the time is right. Not a lot really happens but some great characters in it. If you havnt seen it do!
I have just started on the prison break DVD box set. Just watched season 1, now I am on to the season 2. I dont know if I will make it all the way through season 2 and 3. Hopefully my hand will get better so I can do something more constructive.....
Although I cant paint I have been planning more posses and have orders ready to go with Foundry, Artisan and Dixons. The good thing is the enthusiasm is still there (for wargaming not prison break.)

i dont think i will be painting for a while.....
Howdy,
last night i dislocated my thumb, just my luck i am left handed.....
So no painting for me for a while, which is a real bummer as i have a very busy schedule of commisions to get through before i treat myself to painting my next posse.
it didnt hurt at the time but it sure did when the doctor with the help of 2 nurses at A&E pulled it finally back into place,
heres a picture for the not to squemish...
looking on the bright side i will have sometime to update the blog with a few things i have been working on and you never know i may actually get a game or two in!
To take your mind off the sickening piucture above, Colin has just popped a couple of his new buildings on ebay, so here is some pretty pics

CHRISTMAS IN IMELDA
Over the Christmas holidays we played a two day campaign using the rules from the "showdown" supplement. The first game was a now "infamous Stinky Pete" scenario. He had been drinking to hard again like every other time he comes down from the hills with bags of gold...
This was a multipler game, each posse had to grab as many bags of gold from the centre of town whilst dodging lead from Stinkys buffallo gun as well as each others. We started the game at 2100 and finished at 0230!!
Since it was so long ago and my notes have disappeared here are some pics of the action.
A goat is tethered behind the saloon, dont get to close it is a bit moody!
two ladies take a stroll down main street
Its not just the town that is sleepy.....
The good folk go about their business in peace
A view down main street
Come on boys I have a stage to catch!
The noon stage prepares to leave
The town in all its glory as the posse start to arrive
Pat "windy" Smith brings his boys in for some action
With the sight and more importantly the smell of the mountain men the peace loving locals decide to scarper
The bushwhackers use their military tactics to go into an all round defence as they see some possible enemies heading for the gold
The dismounted buffallo soldiers engage at long range with their rifles
Stinky Pete harrasses a local in the centre of town
The Daves mountain men and Pats lawmen get stuck in to each other on the outskirts of town
Mountain men with buffallo guns take up good firing positions to cover main street where most of the stashes of gold can be seen
The bushwhackers take their first casualty, shot in the guts by a mountain man
The buffallo soldiers take cover behind the stagecoach
the close combat continues as more reinforcements form both posses get involved in the fisticuffs
The casualties grow amongst bushwhackers.....

The casualties grow amongst bushwhackers..... It was a great opening game with much fun had by all. It was the first time anyone had used a mountain man posse and everyone was impressed by their mix of long range fire power and hand to handiness...
The next game saw my bushwhackers up against Colins buffallo soldiers in an "avert the massacre" scenario. This looked like it was going to be deadly for me as I had to cover a lot of open ground to get in range with my predominately sixgun armed posse, all under fire from the rifle armed soldiers. 
Another game continues with Mexican peons protected their herd of horses from rustlers
masses of me-hi-kans
The town looks peaceful again before the final battle, a multiplayer shootfest with the winner being the last man standing
The playes set up for the finale
This dog soldier was a real hand to hand killer, many scalps were earned that day

With a mix of bad dice rolling and slow reloads, my boys managed to get in close and bring
their weight of numbers and shotguns to bear. A great tense game which i was eventually lucky to win.
