Thoughts On - Storage

 Hi Everyone,

                       I missed the bring and buy event at Penkridge, but I have heard of a local game store in Erdington that I shall be checking out in the near future, when my pal is free to join me, as he knows its location and the nearest pub for lunch. 

There is also The Guards Open Day on the 29th July 2024.

 I'm thinking of getting some terrain and a few figures, a monster or two as I am short on those in particular, possibly grabbing some Frostgrave rules. (I must check the ones I have already to avoid duplicates). On a computing matter, in the last couple of weeks I did manage to upgrade my graphics card from a Nvidia 610 to a 750 Ti.

                       I had a very quick flick through the latest wargame mags, they don't seem to stir my interest as they once did, and I am running out of storage room to keep all of my books, and plastic binders. (Does that sound familiar?).  I do have lots of lore, rules and stuff on PDF, but printer ink costs an arm and a leg, but then I don't seem to access them much on the computer. I do check them out on my mobile, but the screen is too small. Tablets do not seem to have sd card readers and decent software to match in a low price range.

                     Regarding storage, in the budget stores I have found large tubs for storing game stuff and wooden compartmental units for putting figures into. They are also very good for finding terrain ingredients, such as plastic mesh and mini battle boards. Wrapping paper does have inch squares on its reverse, this would be useful for mapping battle locations on the cheap. Notepads of course. Beads and crystals to use for markers and tokens, wooden nail files, cheap large floppy makeup brushes are ideal for your dry brushing purposes. Cocktail sticks for instant stakes. Lolly sticks can easily converted into planks or ladders.

Pop any ideas you have in the comments, please.

                      It's the Foottie Euro Cup Season again, so I will be cheering on the UK clubs. (That is usually the "Kiss of Death" for any hopes of winning). Followed next month by the Tour de France cycle race, we have a few Brits in there too, so fingers crossed for them.

                     I have seen our local game club has been posting on Facebook or Meta. That's good. Click on the Circle Battlegroup for more details if you would like to attend.

Regards all,

Ivor Cogdell
