What's waiting in the new year for my dear readers?

First of all, after not being able to participate in a few wargaming events last year (missed out on Spiel 2016 and Crisis in Antwerpen), but I made it to Salute in London, as well as the Bitbox and a few wargaming related events like Stahl auf der Heide at the Tankmuseum in Munster and visits to expositions like the Miniature Wonderland in Hamburg and others. Never the less, I'm looking forward to catch up on some of the events again this year - and try to add a few new events to my schedule, like maybe finally make it to Tactica or visit UK Game Expo in Birmingham.

Beside that, I'll continue on my personal projects in Bolt Action and SAGA. I used the prolonged weekends, treated myself with a proper cup of tea (that I nicked the misses) and assembled some Germans and Iberians while going through the first one and a half blu-rays of six with bonus material to the Hobbit movies. And I started on the M26 Pershing, converting it into a Super Pershing, as well as preparing those Caesar's Romans bases with filler. Both will be covered in more detail in seperate posts.

Review-wise expect some books, along with boxes, kits and sets to the systems above, as well as some Sci-Fi goodies, Antares, 40k and more.

So eventual, I would like to thank you all for visiting, reading, commenting etc. in the last year. Looking forward to continue in the new year, expand it a bit further, would love some more interaction and am very happy about the new followers on facebook. Have a great new year and remaining sunday.
