He was a massive army nut who always meant to join up, so it was obvious which side he was going to play, when left me to take the Afghans/Taliban and also the scenery (as scenery is the bit of the hobby that is probably my favourite aspect). We played Sangim Skirmish, which due to this period in my gaming life, is still one of my most played rulesets, despite it being a set that I think relies too much on multiple tables to be really enjoyable. One of my biggest regrets was when he moved clubs and we saw each other less and less, was selling all my stuff for that game to him*.
*wasn't worried about the figures but I was pleased with the board.
The bulk of the scenery that I sold was from Tinned-Fruit and I was incredibly pleased with it, but the rest was home made in some form or another, mostly with a MDF structure at the core.
With last year's aim that we would be playing games in the desert** I had it in the back of my mind that I would need to work on rebuilding that board, but other stuff kept getting in the way. Saying that, I do have a Crusades collection, WW2 desert war army and our next 40k campaign will be on a desert world, so there is a lot of usage that will come from sorting this out.
**that went well
I already had some desert scenery from 2020 when the enforced lack of gaming meant my heresy group started planning a big come back campaign based on the desert world of Prospero. I plan to use this post to go over the bits already done, so that the next two months, I can post stuff as it is finished.
The Dyeing Mill was from a German company called More-Terrain.de and was just so different I had to pick it up. I'm really tempted to give this a repaint to match my other buildings but I'm worried I'll ruin it in the process.
Thanks for reading
