Regimental Fire and Fury rebasing part V

 

        That is it for this year. I am out of Infantry bases. I had thought more were ordered. I must have never completed the order. Either way I am done for now. I have probably 200 more bases to do. The entire Iron Bridge was set a side during this rebasing round. 
        41 Inf bases and 4 Dismounted Cav. No idea why they look so shiny. I went back and hit them with a testers dull coast.

        This group needs sealing and flocking. I don't know if I will finish them before the New Year.

Anno Domini 1666 at Sea?


         It is time for my 5th Atlantic crossing. A trans-Atlantic out of Rome for 14 days to FL. With 8 days at sea. The girls have never been at sea for more than 2 days. It won't be warm like the Caribbean. I expect them to get board. I am bring Anno Domini 1666 for the kid and me to play. This is not a Disney cruise. There will be few if any kids aboard. I have two other card/rummy family type games for everyone.

        The girls have never seen Rome or Europe. Their 1st time in the Med. We will stop in 2 places dad was when he was stationed in the Med. Mom has never been to Italy or Spain. She is excited to see Rota, Spain where dad was.

        The fun will start when we are crossing. They are possibly the worst sailors. I have sea sickness pills, patches, bands. The Atlantic can be rough. My daughter gets sea sick easy. The wifi is so, so. Mom, I can't say. Yet they all say their sea legs are strong. Ah hahahaha.

        Mom had a hard time with the rough seas. We only had 2 days of semi rough seas and one night of high seas. We were in bed for that. The wifi and me never got sick. The kid was always some form of sick.

        We played one game. The kid found a friend on board. A boyfriend and they hung out. I was off entertaining duty. We played family games and card games but they don't count.

        1st game VV’s musketeers lead by Kitty Softpaws took my Red Guard 7 - 6. One Red Guard killed out right with a head shot. I took down two Musketeers but Kitty cut down the Cardinal. 


        We forgot about armor! We played without parries for half the game.

Holland America ship condition "Birthday Cruise"

 

        Two years ago I went on Holland America with my Aunt. Our birthdays are days apart. Last year we went to the Army/ Navy game. This year I went with the Family and my mother. The idea came when I was out west. I have crossed the Atlantic 5 times. Always under water. I wanted the do a crossing. DCL is my first choice. They were 6K plus for just me. Holland was 6K for the 4 of us including air and hotels. And all we can drink! We also had 3 days in Rome kicking about.

        I am not a fan of HAL. I 1st went with them because it was my Aunt's line of choice. I complained home the whole time on how shit the service, food, and shows were. HAL goes places most don't. But they suck. One would have thought I learned the 1st time.

        We were on the Nieuw Statendam for 14 days. It had just left the yard a month or ago. The physical condition of the ship is terrible! For a ship fresh out of the yards it should be looking good. All things in working order.

        Easy simple things were wrong. Gun wales not draining. Bent broken rails, trim, rigging. Rust!


        All of this should have been handled in the yards. Doesn't stop with the yards. The crew is lazy. They have no pride in the ship. The Chiefs' mess needs a proper kicking. You would see this sort of bullshit everywhere. This example was here for 5 days before it was taken care of!
        HAL is not a total loss. The smoking pit is great. BB Kings' band is spectacular. HAL has a new once a cruise party called "Orange Night."

Regimental Fire and Fury rebasing part IV

 


        I was out part of last week and gone these 3 day before the holiday weekend. Some Traitor guard tanks got blocked in on the road. I got my points and that was about it. The meetings were generated by me this time as I declared 5 million in useable capital equipment on a dying customer. 

        Found a few more Cav that need rebasing.

    
        As far as I got while home 17 completely rebased. 26 glued down and sealed. They need flocking and a final matte seal. Everything will have to wait. I am going back to sea.

Net Epic Armageddon Sallies Vs Eldar 3000pts

        Kal has seen the Tau enough over the years. He played the Traitor Guard in the spin up and at Fall In. They are out. I thought about bring the World Eaters. Eldar with no FF for Eaters is rough. Maybe the Mars boys or Nids?
        My Sallies have sat in the foam. Never been out. The project never finished. I painted enough INF. The armor and support craft are waiting. Its time to pull them. I hate drops, so I will be dropping 4 large detachments. 2 termies to tellie and 2 Thawks to run the bus route.
        As I looked over the list, Sallies lack range and take a hit in FF. I know they have meltas in FF and that the 4 to 5 move was to balance the melta. Or put it in line with speeder meltas. They proved to be dice whores and as casualty heavy as the fluff. 



        My Sallies

    

    Kal's list. 


        The Bombers stacked bodies. When I added dreads in. The bombers doubled in effectiveness. His BTS won't die. Mine won't make a save.

        Kal got BTS for 1 - 0 win. There was only detachments at 25% left at the end of T3. We called it.
