Round-Up 2024.1

 Just some notes and pointers:

(a)  6.3.24 - found on Facebook today.  Only a small amount of text:

Donn Cooks HAMAA:
Historical African Martial Arts Association
Mohsen Mahfouz - Chariots made for a film.

13 pics - don't know how to access the originals!  Really useful guide for scratch-building.

(c)  DBA - Gt.Houghton - Sat 2.3.24

1.3  Nubian  v  1.2b  Early Egyptian -   4:1 win - quite uncharacteristically I shot the enemy to pieces
2.68a  Pictish  v  3.52 West Frankish -  4:1 loss - cannot handle fast pikes
2.43  Maccabean Jewish  v  2.19a  Seleucid -  4:2 win - managed to kill the elephant early on
2.11  Gallic v  2.10  Camillan Roman - 4:1 win - got the warband working plus lucky dice

(d)  Painting/modelling progress

I now have enough figures to re-constitute my Bedouin army.  What I am still short of is 60mm x 80mm chariot bases.  Looks like a serious order has to be made considering just how many of my plastic armies are chariot-rich.

Sorting out my Libyans/Kushites but stuck on the later spearmen.  A suitable box of Carthaginians will have to be found.

Sadly nothing completed as my freezing garret does not encourage loitering.
