Ambitious, Diabolical Plans Part IV Updated!

It's been awhile since I've updated my ambitious, diabolical gaming plans so I thought I would post what's been gamed on my list and what I still have to game now:

Axis & Allies Naval Battle - South Pacific

Battlegroup Modern Game - Attack / Counter-Attack

Volley & Bayonet - Teugen Hausen 1809  Technically we only played 2 turns of this battle but I'm looking for progress here!  anything over 1 turns gets a scratch!

Sails of Glory

Large AWI "Black Powder" Game  I played a small game of Black Powder while it snowed the other night using my 15mm AWI troops.  I would like to post an AAR soon.  It was a nice refresher for the BP rules.

Warfare in the Age of Reason First Game

Warfare in the Age of Napoleon First Game

"The Big Push" Eastern Front Game using Grant's BATTLE Rules  I may play this using Flames of War rules or perhaps even Battlegroup rules.  Not sure yet.

Westfront Game 1944 using Grant's BATTLE Rules (Op Luttich perhaps?) I may play this using Flames of War rules or perhaps even Battlegroup rules.  Not sure yet.

Large "Bolt Action" Eastern Front Game:  This one I'm really looking forward to.  I now have a proper Soviet platoon based for Bolt Action and a platoon of vehicles will accompany them into battle along with their support weapons!  This should be a good one.  Stay tuned!!!

Not-Warhammer40k in 15mm  I am not sure if I have enough minis for a proper battle - with only 5 "galactic marines" and 10 "guard troopers" that might not be a good one.  That being said, I did make some progress the other day on a NOT LEMAN RUSS 15mm main battle tank.  Again - stay tuned!!

Kings of War Fantasy (changed from Warhammer Fantasy)  KOW looks extremely appealing as a Fantasy Mass Battle Rules set - and frankly that's something I've been looking for for a long time.  Something not as intense as Warmaster Fantasy, and not as simplified as Kallistra's Hordes & Heroes which I've tried and tried to like but just can't seem to get into.  KOW looks like a great rules set (FREE!!) and lots of fun.  Also easily converted to 15mm or 10mm which is what I'll do.

Warfare in the Age of Reason First Game

Warfare in the Age of Napoleon First Game

Hobby Front: 
SYW Prussian Regiment "Alt-Braunschweig" is about 40% done now, with SYW Austrian (Hungarian) Regiment and a Napoleonic French Battalion in the works. 

Also more Bolt Action / Battlegroup support units on the workbench, a Fantasy Orc Regiment from Khurasan, 15mm Cold War Soviet Tank and Motor Rifle Platoon, and of course my 15mm Americans who could use some TLC.

The biggest impediment to getting this stuff done?  TIME!!!  I never seem to have enough of it.

    1. Ken,
      Me too - I'm reading Age of Reason now and it looks very simple and also like alot of fun. Warfare in the Age of Napoleon looks very much the same. I can't wait to both!

    1. Paul,
      You better believe it! Now that the cold weather has arrived - I'm inside much more and hopefully that means more gaming!
