Hang on...

...so I was catching up on my reading, and read this over at Cheaphammer:

It's been a combination of having a lot on in terms of work (lots of marking and meetings) 

and then something I saw at the Lead Pile (making a gaming mat while his Sixth Formers got on with their projects - and oh, how I wish I was still working in a practical workshop and could do that). And it's moved me to ask - how many of us are teachers? Including the Talented Mr Awdry over at 28mm Victorian Warfare that makes 3 out of the 20 or so blogs I follow: statistical fluke or is wargaming something that especially appeals to the kind of people that go into teaching?

Enquiring minds want to know. Tell us in the comments.

Plugs

I'd just like to thank fellow History teacher and all round good egg Michael Awdrey for his plug of this blog - check out his wonderful work here.

I'd also like to echo his pointer towards Mike's Random Wargames Meanderings which is currently infecting me with a bad case of shinybloodyitis in terms of a SAGA warband.

While we're on the subject, I'd highly recommend Random Encounters for the most creative take on historical zombies for Zomtober I've ever seen.

My next project is, indeed, going to be a little Hammer Horror but is unlikely to be finished for Zomtober. Perhaps I can claim it as Novzomber or something.
