So its now a year since I stupidly humbly said yes to taking on the mantle of editor of Slingshot for the Society of Ancients. In that time I have learnt to actually appreciate the hobby more and been privileged to piece together the journal on a regular basis, learning and hopefully improving as I go. I do hope to keep going with this as it has actually been a real pleasure to do along with the hard work you would expect at the outset. The pleasure aspect is definitely an unexpected bonus and I look forward to the next 12 months. As I write I am in the throes of completing my 7th issue of Slingshot so I cant be doing too badly. As an aside, I have learnt more about publishing in the past 12 months than you can shake a stick at and I appreciate the effort that others put in when doing editing, writing and producing anything including journals, articles and of course blogs. Keep it up guys, i do read alot and I appreciate all your efforts

A year as Editor

The Flip has Flopped
Having done quite a bit of 15mm painting and basing, I decided to enact that most famous of wargamer's maneuvers...the flip-flop. In this case I have flip-flopped back to 10mm in the same time period and arena of warfare, ie Dark Age Britain. In a fit of pique I decided that I really should finish the mountain of painted/semi-painted10mm figures and get them ready for some rules testing. Once I have completed this next phase I may post some picture but until then its very much hush hush and besides which I cant be bothered ;-)
