Any advice people have for staying focused would be appreciated as I tend to get excited about every new game that comes out. mmmmmmmmm team yankee!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />Anyway my goals are:<br /><br />1. Finish my Romans for Hail Ceaser<br />2. Finish My Lizard Men for Warhammer<br />3. Have a table and terrain set up in place by mid year.<br />4. Wait for the Epic 40k Release and then get highly excited and buy everything. <br />5. Finish My Galadhrim Knights for lord of the rings and try to get Andy & Chris into War of the ring. Best system I have played.<br /><br />Andy will now insult me and say if you do all that I will eat my own testis but I am determined!<br /><br />RichAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552451574718188951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-71725063007873688062016-01-13T08:17:08.424+00:002016-01-13T08:17:08.424+00:002 minus painted for each 1 bought in......Question...2 minus painted for each 1 bought in......Question is Finch do I add the Xmas haul to the tally or do I start from minis bought in from 1st Jan?

Much as I'd love to recruit at least one other player, I just can't see it happening.
