This was another year of painting for others. I finished two commissions for Glen, two for Carl, and two for Kevin.
I have included the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge points in brackets with my total below.
28mm Board Game, 511 (2,555)
28mm Foot, 402 (2,010)
28mm Mounted, 31 (310)
28mm Guns, 6 (120)
28mm Elephants, 2 (40)
15mm Foot, 474 (948)
15mm Mounted, 289 (1,156)
15mm Guns and Limbers, 34 (136)
That gives me a total of 7,275 points on the year, against a sixteen year average of 5,965, so this year was 22% above normal.

The gaming group activity really picked up toward the end of the year, mostly Commands and Colors Ancients on my new table. I have loved the game since I first played it, and the other fellows like it well enough to indulge me.
For 2023 I plan to cut back the commission work and focus on expanding my 28mm ancients armies. I would like to play some Commands and Colors Ancients scenarios from the Greek / Macedonian / Persian wars. Right now I am working on six Persian auxilia units.
Blogger is showing its age as a hosting platform. I am able to sign in and write posts, but my something about my browser keeps me from commenting! I do indeed see and read all comments, but I usually get an error message when I try to respond. After sixteen years on Blogger, it may be time for a change.
Happy New Year, my fellow gamers!
