A list of games to play in 2020

New Years is a time for lists so here is my wish list of 16 games to play in 2020 plus a long term plans for a siege game (#17). Some of the games are hold-overs from last year.  As usual I suspect I will be lucky to get half of them done, but at least I have something to strive for.  There is also  the possibility of a new game being added to the list (like SAGA Age of Magic) got added to my 2019 list) or an older game making a comeback like Sharpe Practice, War of 1812 or a Superhero game (#18).

1. SAGA Age of Magic and SAGA Historical 28mm

I would be up for going back and doing a 6th ed game of warhammer fantasy. We should do a game at the club or something sometime. One of my ambitions is to paint some high elves this year.

Sounds like the start of a plan just need to decide on a Sunday and which army. I have some High Elves you could borrow.

How many points did you have in mind? I could field Vampire Counts, Tomb Kings or Dark Elves.

I would say 1000 to keep things simple?

My suggestion would be either the Sunday in March, or Friday in February. But whenever works.

I used to have a few armies, but tossed most out, only the Brettonians survived the cull.
