Nothing much to show for the moment. I had the weekend off and could have spent a few hours painting however as the wife and I only have 1 weekend off in 3 together the paint pot lids remained on. Last week I managed to get my Russian cuirassier base to the AP stage (they are now AP'd and awaiting completion).
The wife and I have been having a wee think on life as we are both around the 40 mark. I have put a lot of weight on over the past few years and the wife also has become a little chunky (it's ok she won't be reading this ;0). My weight gain stems from almost no exercise, eating far to much and of course to much alcohol!
So we have put our heads together to find solutions to get a little healthier etc, etc.
I thought you might be interested in my own quest as my wee men will be playing a part.

I've come up with a scheme to cut back on alcohol and from tomorrow it will come into effect (I have 3 beers left to finish off the football extravaganza, well done to Spain!!!).
My idea is a sort of barter/exchange scheme, as anyone reading my blog over the past couple of years will know I can be a very slow painter.

So here is how it will go.
For interest I will be drinking beers from the Countries my units come from more or less so any sugguestions are most welcome. (hopefully the beers will be available in either Tesco, Asda, Morrisons or Aldi etc).
Russia (well I already enjoy Baltica)
Bavaria (Suggestions???)
Prussia (Suggestions???)
Saxony (Suggestions???)
Austria (I will be most probably drinking Czech beers).
France (I will maybe drink some red wine).
If I complete a command base I will be aloud 1 beer.
If I complete a 32/36 man battalion I will be allowed 2 beers.
If I compete a cavalry regiment I will be aloud 3 beers.
Artillery and limbers are classed as 2 beers also.
