Just like a single stand of 6mm Orcs only counted as one (even though there were up to a dozen archers per stand). <br /><br />As far as detail goes, I don't get into it that far. If it's a finished piece, I count it. Some, like RPG minis, obviously have more love and care than others! So I'd say it's totally fair.<br /><br />It's a new year, get to tracking!MIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349008639954236034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-36477254705310395462011-01-04T14:22:23.184-05:002011-01-04T14:22:23.184-05:00Great post and summary of 2010.

I deleted it though when my models/new rulebooks bought tripled my models painted/sold number in only July. I am going to try to give it another go this year.<br /><br />How would you rate a single stand of Infantry for FOW? 1 fig per stand? .5? .25? Since the detail require is lower and the fact that I play Russians and I have/will have lots to paint as I am expanding outside Late War to Early and Mid War in 2011 is it fair to pad my model count with low detail quick to paint Infantry stands worth 1 model a piece?HuronBHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03627538019185831412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-50300755616912847692011-01-03T08:55:48.198-05:002011-01-03T08:55:48.198-05:00Thanks!

It's also helpful if you're in my shoes if you have a stalwart non-gamer spouse!<br /><br />Love your blog by the way, since 15mm sci-fi is on my to-do list for 2011 you'll be seeing more of me.

I very much agree with the need to paint the stuff on the to-do pile, and not spend quite as much on shiny new stuff - think I'll be making a note of that idea!<br /><br />As ever, you've continued to be an inspiration - this blog was one of the main reasons I started mine and remains one of my favourites to read!

I also got a long-sleeved Iron Man thermal, but it was too tight for my buff body, err, spare tire.<br /><br />@Steven: Dare to dream! We need to roll some dice for sure, that would be quite the feather in the 2011 cap!<br /><br />@Meatball: Thanks, happy new year!<br /><br />@GDMNW: Since I started tallying my figures bought and painted I've noticed my "efficiency" has been turned up several notches. Plus I find it's more simple than painting "points" and easier to manage than setting hard goals.<br /><br />@Mike: Are you ready? Mandolin, tennis, and health. Just when you think I zig, I zag!<br /><br />@LoneIslander: It was solid, I feel very lucky to see it all laid out here, and now I feel I can relax a bit going into 2011.<br /><br />@Christian: Please by all means, vicariate away!
