Starting in the world of wargaming.

Hello and welcome to the blog. I have always felt the need to put my thoughts into paper, or virtual paper in this case. Not that I am a great writer, mind you. But here I am, to talk about my hobby experience.

I'm a wargaming newby and I'm trying to get some people interested in the Chain of Command ruleset to play some games in my country. For this purpose I decided to buy a Late War British and German Company from Plastic Soldier Company, thinking that it will be easier to interest people if I have everything needed.
At the time I didn't realize they had redesigned the British Company and it's a bit different from the older style German one. Not a major problem, but I could have bought the German Grenadiers that are apparently redesigned sculpts as well.

I'm new to this and a fairly slow painter so after a couple of weeks I only have a British squad done. I choose to use white primer for the Brits at the beginning but I'm thinking that maybe grey primer might work better.

I'm outside the city while writing this blog entry, and won't have hobby time until next weekend at least, but second squad was left at the workbench pretty much all cleaned and ready for priming so I hope to have that ready soon.
