She says she will review the rules immediately after the election, next steps will be based on how big they win I assume.

To be on the safe side maybe start back in June, if things go backwards after the 17th may we don't want to open then close almost right away.
Hope everyone is well and staying sane!!
See you all soon.

Safe, but probably not sane..... For our first game back, is everyone still up for a big Bolt Action Operation Paperclip game? We probably have enough stuff......

We're both fine thanks. We had to bury Wendy's brother mid-week and there is ongoing stress concerning his wife!!! Never a dull moment.
Sanity, as I am finding out, is all about interpretation.

I don’t see why we can’t start getting the club together now. Looking at the guidelines it doesn’t specifically mention social clubs etc, literally everything else apart from nightclubs etc, are back. What are they going to do, send police to a church to break up half a dozen geeks playing with toy soldiers?

I'm really not sure how the rules apply currently, it is a bit confusing since I don't really know what we are in guideline terms.
From what I've seen though you can meet in as big a group as you want if you are waving Saltires, Palestine flags or protesting against the Border Force, so we could just claim we're doing that.

Well, our miniatures usually wave oversized flags, so I'm sure that counts.

As I'm sitting at my desk 'working' at 1am, (its very quiet at this time), I think this would be the best time to fill you guys in my wargames COVID journey (the pretentious name I'm applying to what are erratic spasms of mass productive activity over a spectrum of time). I'm writing this in the full awareness that all and sundry who read it, will be fascinated by the contents of this post.
Please don't expect any cogency or any semblance of a structured temporal sequence of events.
In the common tongue, I've been doing the following...
28mm WW2 Japanese - IJA & SNLF 28mm WW2 Germans - Late War - Panzer Lehr 28mm WW2 Winter War Soviets - The vast majority of this army is being 3D printed, early results are promising for both infantry and vehicles Started working on early war WW2 Germans also, but this has been limited to only one platoon of infantry and a Panzer Jager, for the moment.
I've also pretty much nearly finished Seven years war Austrian cavalry and infantry I've been painting for Bob, for I honestly can't remember how long. So long that I started them from scratch as my technique had improved markedly since I had first made the attempt! So, I'm sure the end result will be public knowledge at the next 28mm SYW game, whenever that may be.
There's been a smattering of other projects, but not made too much in terms of progress, at the moment. Experimenting with the resin 3d printer, most recently.
I'd upload some pics, but the size limit for files is so small, anyone have a solution for that?

I've added some WW2 French- FFL and an H35- both can be used as Vichy or Free French, plus the H35 can be used by the Italians and the Germans.The Germans have a Panzer IV G now as well, and I have been painting up more US Marines and also the new Warlord Late War British Infantry - now have 100 plus if you count Paras. I have a decent sized Hobbit force for WoE, and I am now working on Wood Elves
