Long Term Plan as of 21 NOV 2010

---Updated 17 Oct 10

I have been working on a long term plan to organize my projects for the next year. It is agressive, but I want to start bringing some projects to maturity so I can keep organized and not develop a mountain of unpainted lead. My planned purchases are limited for the coming year:

1) FOW platoons at each convention
2) Keep buying 1 of each Splintered Light animal pose
3) Maybe get more of the Blue Moon FIW 15mm range for the imagi-nation.

My stand by at any time will be the Splintered Light figures as I have only about a dozen of each animal so I can finish a group quickly if I hit painter's block on other projects.

I plan to make a unique terrain piece/fort for each SL faction too.

1) US Rifle Company (done)
2) GE Falschrimjager Company (done)

This takes me out a year and 2.5 years since I started painting/gaming/collecting. It will mature many of my projects (except ancients and pirates) allowing me to get more focused on gaming.
