Historicon Prep Update

Twenty six days until my Historicon game.  More importantly only 3 more weekends!.  A little bit of progress to report - I've mostly finished the Roman Onager which will be the "Big Gun" for the Roman siege of a Dacian fort.  All I need to do is add some ground cover and seal the minis.

Here's where I stand on my "to-do" list:

(1) Finish the parapets & gate doors
(2) Cut 45 degree bevels into one section
(3) Scenic the fort sections
(4) Build and paint a Roman catapult
(5) Add two points to my Viking Warband for the SAGA tournament on 7/19 (first day of HCON) - anywhere from 8 - 16 28mm figures.
(6) Inspect and touch-up the Roman and Dacian Armies
(7) Test play the scenario a few times
(8) Interesting Terrain bits (tree stands, wells, houses etc)


OK, checking off number 5 is a bit like cheating - as I conned Ernie into letting me borrow some Vikings from his inexhaustible miniatures collection.  I'll still try to paint some up for myself but at least I've got a back up.


The big push this week will be to finish up the fort sections.
