2025 is now well underway and as I write this I am sat in Thessaloniki, Greece enjoying a few days relaxation before trudging once more into the fray at work.
Although my work often takes me on the road, and away from my beloved toy soldiers, I feel that 2024 was a productive year. And in this post, I hope to summarize my achievements for posterity, but also as a reminder to myself to be less hard on myself. Juggling work, home life, the hobby, and all life's other demands is tricky enough, one shouldn't feel bad about falling short in the optional bits.
It was a year of intense travel again. Australia, Singapore twice, Greece and the UK several times. Also a trip to Brazil. So it is hardly surprising that nothing really got done until May 2024, so let's tally the scores for the year:
- 12 Seleucid Agema cataphracts (Magister Militum with a ringer from Old Glory) - 28mm
- 6 Crimean War British Line Infantry (Warlord Games) - 28mm
- 6 Crimean War British Grenadier Guards (Great War) - 28mm
- 6 Crimean War Russian Line Infantry (Wargames Foundry) - 28mm
- 1 Crimean War Russian Line Gun (Britannia) - 28mm
- 31 Numidian Infantry (Essex) - 15mm
- 4 Numidian Cavalry (Essex) - 15mm
- 22 Greek Infantry (Essex) - 15mm
- 1 Boer Infantry (Black Tree Design) - 28mm
- 2 Matabele Infantry (North Star) - 28mm
- 8 Marian Roman Infantry (Wargames Foundry) - 28mm
- 30 WSS British Line Infantry (Baccus) - 6mm
- 16 Norman Infantry (Newline Designs) - 28mm
- 27 Middle Republican Roman (Old Glory 15's) - 15mm
- 2 Haystacks
I am not counting rebased figures, of which there were many.
The totals in each scale are therefore as follows:
- 6mm - 30 Infantry
- 15mm - 80 Infantry and 4 Cavalry
- 28mm - 45 Infantry and 12 Cavalry and 1 Artillery Piece with crew
- Terrain - 2 Haystacks
Not a bad shout for a year hampered by simply not being home enough.
