Summer Plans

                Been thinking a lot about what I'm gonna do over the summer. It's really hard for me to tell at this point because in May I gotta get surgery. It's nothing serious but I might be out for a few weeks which is gonna suck. During that period I'll probably just watch a fuck ton of anime, I gotta finish FMP and Uma Musume. Regardless I have a couple ideas of what I'm gonna do over the summer (other than working).

             I wanna do a lot of fishing. Last summer I fished only around 2 or 3 times and didn't catch anything. I wanna try to do it more though especially on days I gotta work. Since I typically work night shifts I usually end up with a lot of free time that I don't know what to do with. So my logic is that I could get up early, spend all day fishing and then go to work at night. I think that's a pretty good way to spend my time.

    I also had this other idea that involves me playing with toys. As some of you may know I love warhammer but I also just enjoy toys relating to war in general. Where I'm going with this is that I have a lot of those cheap plastic army men you'd get at like arcades or the dollar store. I was throwing around the idea in my head that I should do a full scale campaign with these army men. I wanna use warhammer imperial guard rules just to see what would happen. I already have ideas brewing on how it would go. I have two factions, the tan army men and the green army men. The Greens have huge numbers of infantry and will be on the offensive attempting to overtake the Tan's country. On the other hand the Tan's have significantly less soldiers but they have the technology like tanks, artillery, special forces etc. So basically it's a country attempting to defend it's boarders from a horde of green attempting to take their territory. I think it could be fun if I got the terrain and buildings to pull it off. I already have an idea for what the map would look like. 

            This is the map that I'm thinking of using. There's battle lines marked in red and various buildings like factories, cities, and military bases. The greens come from the beach D-Day style and make their way up the map getting deeper and deeper into enemy territory over taking cities and pushing closer to the castle which is the Tan's last line of defense. Later I'll figure out how battle will go down but the idea I have now is that the tan's will have replenishing reinforcements due to this being their home territory while the green's will have a limited amount of troops they can lose. The reason for this is that I have significantly more green soldiers than Tan ones so this is my way of attempting balance. Each building will have a certain amount of reserves such as a city having 50 troops. When the green's attack a battle will play out where the troops will have to defend that location from the greens possible playing out objectives and goals to spice things up. If the greens win the battle the Tan's will be driven out and the greens will secure the area. while if the Tan's successfully defend the area they'll be reinforced after a period of time ready for another attack.

That's about all I got right now but I think I'll develop it more as the summer goes on. I also think this is gonna have to be play tested as balancing is gonna be a bitch, it's not gonna be fun if the greens steamroll or if the Tan's hold the greens at the beach with no hope of making it farther.

Other than that I don't really have much else planned other than smaller stuff I haven't really developed. Stuff like making more videos, doing vlogs, hanging out with friends, spending time with my girlfriend, and stuff like that. Hopefully I can keep myself busy as I often have trouble staying busy over the summer and quickly become bored. Anyways that's about it for now so I'll keep ya'll updated.
