Squirrel Duel - Third Update

    Hello all, this Squirrel Update is coming a little earlier than the previous ones, as my non-Squirrel Finding duties outside the challenge are restricting my time to do the really important stuff, like allocating Squirrel Points. 

   
    We have had a lot of cool entries over the past couple of weeks, so before we get to the scoreboard, here are a few that caught my eye.

PeterD painted some dangerous looking female adventurers.

IanS has produced an army of 10mm ghosts.

JohnB's CMP trucks will be providing logistical support to his forces.

KerryT's magnificent looking French forces are on the march.

    We have had a few new Squirrel Hunters joining the fray this time around, and a LOT of high scoring posts. There isn't much between the top few posts. AndrewG has come from nowhere to rack up 8 points, well done!
    Just to remind people of the rules about Squirrel Points.
- You get 1 Squirrel Point for every 25 points of miniatures you paint of a specific genre/army/scale.
- This applies over the entire challenge, not just individual posts. So, you can score points by spreading your entries across multiple posts if you want to. (Please do make a note for me in your post, so that I know where to look). However, you cannot score points by simply posting the same army twice in different weeks. I keep a record of what everyone is being awarded points for. 
- Squirrel Points are awarded at an army/force/warband level. So you would not get 2 points for posting Russian Cavalry and Russian Infantry, but you would get 2 points for posting Russian Cavalry and Austrian Cavalry.
- All posts should be labelled with 'Squirrel' and/or your user handle. (E.g. mine is StuartL). Ideally both labels will be the best option. If you don't, it becomes much more difficult for me to track things down.
- It is really helpful if you keep a list of all the Squirrels you think you have scored in your posts.

As always, if you have any questions, please post below.

- The Squirrelfinder General.
