Samurai project progressing slowly

My painting for the Samurai project has slowed. On the positive side it has not stopped with about half a unit, 6 figures, being painted each week. I now have completed 20 percent of the units required to reach my first goal of 20 units painted. Why 20 units? I generally try to paint up 10 for each army so I can play a One-Hour Wargaming game. After this point, even if I choose not to play a game, the painting of the remaining forces always seems to get easier.

The Samurai forces are slowly getting painted.

While painting is slow. I do seem to be getting through quite a few games on the tabletop. Either testing out some new rule changes, or try out games with larger unit sizes. 

A few Jacobite Rebellion games were played to test out some moral and activation rule changes. They seem to work and I now need to play a series of games, possibly in a mini snakes and ladders style campaign.

A quick WW2 game using 3 bases for each unit. A base is removed for each hit a unit takes, and units are eliminated after 3 hits, which is the reason for increasing the unit base number. However, I think I will stick with 1 or 2 bases per unit and use markers for hits. It all got too cluttered for my liking.

After this gaming diversion I think it is time to return to the 2nd Punic War campaign and get going with the two land battles for the turn.
