Time flies like an arrow....

...and fruit flies like a banana.  So, its about two and half weeks shy of four years since I declared that I was beginning work anew after a previous two year absence. Four years.

 In that time, I mostly did no work on anything miniature related. I played almost no miniatures games. It was a dark time to be sure. Last year I started to snap out of it a bit. I bought the starter set for Strontium Dog and was excited about a project again, was ready to paint and build and roll dice and...then I had a fairly major health issue arise. Suddenly I was wondering if I was going to shuffle off this mortal coil and depart for the great beyond. There are certain words that doctors can say that will cause you to change your focus rapidly. My doctor spoke one of those words to me. Minis and gaming and just about everything else was shoved back the rearmost burners for a while. Thankfully all went as well as anyone could have asked. So after a time, I began to think about fun things again.

 My Strontium Dog project (such as it was) went off the rails - partly because of the previously mentioned incident, and partly because I was ghosted by someone who said they wanted to play it. It's not the sort of game that appears to lend itself to solo play easily so it went back to the rearmost burner. That was about 80 bucks worth of excitement that never went anywhere. Such is life. At least I am here still to make that observation.

 As chance would have it another game came to my attention and as a bonus it fit in with almost everything I had managed to achieve for Valhalla Falls.  Fallout had finally come to the table in an officially licensed and supported format. A ruleset, miniatures, terrain, the works. After pondering it for a bit I found a starter set at one of my local shops and picked it up. Since then I have obtained several expansion/faction sets and look forward to future releases. I have also restarted work on my terrain and buildings from way back at the start of this blog.

 I have completed several new barricades, scratchbuilt a couple of wasteland shacks, and completed a few of the O scale buildings shown in earlier posts. Thankfully I took pictures of most of it so new posts will be forthcoming detailing how and what and all that sort of thing.  While my current focus is on Fallout: Wasteland Warfare I have not given up on my original vision for VF.  It is still there and will still eventually hit the table. Stay tuned (I suspect I am shouting into the void again but that's fine). In the meantime I hope you enjoy some adventures in the Wasteland.

Cheers!
