This month I finally got back into painting after a long layoff but I'm working on some British/French/Arab figs circa 1900.

I get like that sometimes I have a break from painting and it takes a huge amount of will power to pick up my brush again. The thing is I love painting but there's always a 101 other things that needs doing. + the painting back log can be daunting at times! Are you painting the c.1900 figs. for a particular game or do you just like collecting them?

I'm painting them up for a land component to the Game Leviathans. In 1878 the Polish genius Rychnowski isolated an electrical fluid with remarkable lifting capabilities – a single, pivotal event that would change the world. The smartest military minds of the coming generation – Zeppelin, Jellico, Fisher and others – diverted their attention to the glorious new technological revolution and sea-going battleships were abandoned around the world. In their place, armored giants took to the skies. In 1906, Great Britain launched the HMS Leviathan, the first of the "super air ships", sparking an arms race around the world. By 1910 the most powerful nations boasted large High Fleets, and the start of small skirmishes left the world uneasy. Leviathans is a game published by Catalyst Game Labs that simulates combat between warships that have taken to the air in an alternate history 1910. The king leviathans, the battleships, are the largest vessels. Maneuvering in support are the smaller ships of light cruisers, destroyers, and others ships. This is a Air Navy combat board Game but the concept intrigued me (not to mention the cool ship figs) & I have an OoP Game from Eagle Games called "Age of Imperialism " which has a ton of circa 1900 colonial service type Inf/Cav /Artillerty figs.so I decided to add a land component & create a Linear Campaign. The Leviathans core set has British & French ships (they are working on a German/Italian expansion & eventually plan for Russia,Austria-Hungary,Japan & the US)so my Campaign will be these two countries clashing over N.Africa & the Levant Region of the Ottoman Empire. Libya will be the starting flash point & here's the background: La République résurgente (working name for the Campaign) The Third Republic Government decision to concentrate on Africa to restore the French lost prestige from the Franco-Prussian War & the insult of the Salisbury Doctrine waited only for opportune circumstances. Those circumstances arose in the decaying Ottoman Empire North African Province of Tripolitania In 1910. The dispute between the Saan Arabs & the minority Berber tribe erupted into open conflict. The small Turkish garrison unable to contain the fighting gave up & withdrew.The Berbers outnumbered were forced to flee finally finding refuge in the French Algeria District of Oasis the home of their tribesmen. The Saan in hot pursuit crossed the boarder overrunning a French outpost & burning a few villages before returning to Tripolitania. The French Government declaring the Ottoman Empire was unable to maintain order sent an Expeditionary Force the Jabul al Gharki District to punish the Saan and restore order. The Arabs fell back upon Tripoli the French pursued taking the city after a brief battle. The French then threw off the mask & declared they were assuming control of both Districts of Tripoliyania. The French through secret negations had let the Italians know that they would not oppose any Italian claims to the Cyrenaica. Meanwhile the Arab Tribes of Fezzan Province began to raid into French occupied territory providing another excuse for French intervention. The Sublime Porte however had no intention to accepting this territorial loss & requested Great Britain give them permission to move Ottoman Armies through British administered Egypt.Britain refused not wanting Turkish Forces in Egypt. The British were faced with a dilemma they could not accept France pushing their control to the Western boarder of Egypt & the Muslim population of her colonies were supporting the Ottoman Empire, demanding the French be stopped. British public opinion was however hostile to supporting the Ottoman Empire . Then the Italian air ship Dandolo bombarded Turbuk the unprovoked attack killed hundreds & the Fleet Street press played up the massacre. Subsequent news that the Italians were assembling an invasion force created a public demand for Britain to intervene. The Majabrah Arab Tribe fearing the Cyrenaica was threatened from both the French & Italians requested protection of the British.This opportune request freed the British Government from direct support of the Sublime Porte. The British responded by sending a force from its Egyptian garrison to occupy both Turbuk & the Al Wahat Districts of Cyrenaica. An ultimatum was made to both the Italians & French to cease hostilities in Ottoman territory The Italians quickly declared their attack on Turbuk was retaliatory in nature for treatment by the Arabs to Italian merchants in the city they had no further attacks planned. The French simply ignored the British Ultimatum. Thus the year ended with French Forces controlling the Tripolitania Province in the West & the British controlling the Cyrenaica with Arab support in the East. In February of 1911 the French began to move against the Arabs in Fezzan Province. The British seeing if France succeed in taking the Province they would have reach the Egyptian Boarder sent their forces to oppose the French move. The first clash occurred in the Jufra district.

Wish I had the patience Thanks Bloated One. I've been painting another 2 AToE characters today. They're almost finished and I will post them by Friday at the latest. I'm actually thinking of getting some villians. I know they're not necessary for the game but it just gives me an excuse to paint some cool figures! I don't know if you're a painter but I heartily recommend you give the hobby a go. Yes it does take patience but it's a rewarding hobby and you get to use your figures in your games.
