My experience of historical wargamers is that very few are capable of picking one period and sticking to it, and I am no different. As time, money and storage are all limited, I cannot indulge every topic that appeals to me and am concentrating on the following.
- Old West in 28mm. Westerns are my first love, and this project is more cinematic than historical in flavour. Rules are my own, currently in development.
- World War 2 in 15mm. None of that German tanks business for Mr Grizzly: current collection includes US Marines, Japanese, and the beginnings of US Army. Australians, and possibly Anglo/Indians for Burma will be added at some point in the future. Rules are Piquet's Field of battle : WW2, possibly supplemented by my own if I ever finish them, and Blitzkrieg commander for lower-level actions.
- World War 1 in 28mm. East African campaign of 1916: Anglo/Indian/Rhodesian/East African against German. Originally I planned to use Piquet's Barrage rules, but may well rebase and reorganise for Field of battle.
- Colonials in 28mm. An outgrowth of the Western collection, this will deal with cinematic, Kiplingesque, and Boys own paper style skirmishes in the Sudan. Rules modified from the Western set.
- Vietnam in 15mm. Currently in hibernation. Rules a mixture of Piquet's Forgotten heroes; Cold war commander; possibly a modification of Field of battle : WW2; or homegrown, depending on scale of action required.
- Horse and musket in ??. I have space for one further project of reasonable size, and for the sake of variety it will be horse and musket of some description. Candidates include Grand Alliance/Spanish Succession, American Revolution, fictitious 18th century middle-European statelets, or maybe something completely different.
In addition I have several small naval collections in some degree of progress, but those cost less in space or money.
