It's now about four months, give or take a week or so, until the Lard Day in March, so I have now been forced to decide on the game I'll be running. This was a toss up between What a Tanker! and Bag the Hun 2, but I've now opted firmly for the latter. The main reason for this is that I'm far more clued up on the Bag the Hun rules and also know that there are already several What a Tanker! games slated for the day, making another one a bit superfluous.
I've also decided on a 1942 Channel Front fighter sweep as the scenario of choice, running the same scenario in both sessions unlike last time. I did briefly consider a Battle of Britain game, as I'd only need to base and paint twelve Spitfires for that, but the consensus on the Bag the Hun Facebook group was for the 1942 option, so I'm going with that as about three quarters of the planes are already based and undercoated.
It does mean more painting, basing and some conversion work, with about thirty plus models in total if I go full throttle, so I'm going to be pretty busy at the workbench over the next couple of months. In fact, once I've built the 1/72nd scale Fokker triplanes for Knights of the Sky, I'll be tied up with 1/300th scale fighters for the foreseeable future, with the Congo project shoved to the back of the queue (again)!
