Second Section of Jungle Division Infantry

How is everyone this fine New Years Day morning! me thinks I hear moaning, groaning and snoring because of the celebrations into the wee small hours of the morning. As you read this I am still snug in my bed smug with the thought that this post notification has beeped on your mobile as you throw it across the floor!

Well happy New Year despite the headache! Remember a hangover is only a problem if you decide to stop drinking!

Anyway enough of the preamble which was designed to just wake you out of your slumber for the important stuff! The fourth section of infantry for this platoon is now finished.

The post today is on an other completed Jungle Division section of infantry.

This is a standard Jungle Division composition of NCO with SMG, 3 Infantry with SMG, 1 with a Bren gun and 5 infantry with .303 rifles, one acting as the Bren gun loader.

A Jungle Division infantry section alight from their billet as the alarm sounds.

Note the completed basing on the Jungle hut. For more information see the Pacific Village post.

Soldier on watch as others checkout the rest of the village.

Bren gunner.

SMG gunners

Riflemen

The section on their movement tray, or rather I should say “Shelf storage tray”. The tray helps move miniatures quickly from shelf to table with minimal dropping of figures (it is not Guru proof!).

Another section up next – only two more to go (20 figures) and the project is finished.

Happy New Year Everyone

Did you have a great night of fun and frivolity with family and friends.

Tips to achieve your Wargaming New Years resolutions

  • Game more often – the more you game the more you will lose and be encouraged to paint that new killer army, and save for those “must haves” to beat your opponent. Revenge provides the motivation.
  • Take short cuts in you painting. Not all of us can paint to a Golden Daemon standard. So why do we keep trying. Unfortunately I am a good example of the first and a bad example of the second.
  • Work out what you actually want to do and stick to. Guru is again a bad example.
  • Finally, lists work really well except for when they don’t, which is most of the time. I can attest to that!

There is actually some science behind that. To do lists tend to fail if they have more than 7 or 8 things on them as the brain has difficulty taking in too much at once. Wargamers are an outlier to these statistics. we tend to fail if they list has more than nothing on it!

Hope these words of wisdom from guru help.

Have a great New Year and may you and you family have a great year ahead.

May your dice always roll well.

Remember always be optimistic. Snake eyes may be a bad shooting roll but they are often an excellent one for morale!
