Please be advised that Lt. Col. Lannigan ...Hi Ross,<br />Please be advised that Lt. Col. Lannigan is highly suspicious of the Fenian "volunteers." His belief was that loyalty to his adopted homeland transcended any value that "these people" (as he referred to them) might have. He was willing to use them to fill out the manpower in his column but had a number of his men watching them closely for any signs of trouble making. <br />He rated their military ability about on a level with some of the militia he had raised locally and their morale was definitely suspect. In addition, he had received sealed orders which came from the War Department indicating that while he was to punish the natives he was also to be careful to respect the Canadian right to sovereignty and definitely not light a spark which might ignite warfare between the two democracies.<br />best regards,<br />JerryCelticCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687177512999052331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-31841150155471459562016-08-10T14:19:48.102-03:002016-08-10T14:19:48.102-03:00Thry have appeared previously as 1885 Cree such as...Thry have appeared previously as 1885 Cree such as in this June10 post<br /><br /><a href="https://gameofmonth.blogspot.ca/2016/06/theres-beef.html" rel="nofollow"> Where's the Beef </a>Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-78821544382157155582016-08-10T14:13:49.796-03:002016-08-10T14:13:49.796-03:00Bob, you would not believe how strong the pull was...Bob, you would not believe how strong the pull was to put them on bases and play a Morschauser variant with them but at least I can echo his grid.You would be very welcome to join me.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-25646359648773342332016-08-10T14:11:25.189-03:002016-08-10T14:11:25.189-03:00A little bit of skirmishing anyway.A little bit of skirmishing anyway.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-42613798550786737882016-08-10T14:10:32.017-03:002016-08-10T14:10:32.017-03:00Its taken me 15 years to go glossy and unshaded bu...Its taken me 15 years to go glossy and unshaded but I'm loving them myself.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-15885781518597443222016-08-10T14:09:14.537-03:002016-08-10T14:09:14.537-03:00Thanks Brian, its been percolating for a while.

There are very definite echos of your youth in the way you describe what you are planning to do ... and it is something that I am sure chimes with lots of other wargamers of our generation. I only wish that I could join you to fight some of your forthcoming battles.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-53714986643367707252016-08-10T05:10:57.922-03:002016-08-10T05:10:57.922-03:00Sounds a very interesting Project - will be great ...Sounds a very interesting Project - will be great to see it all in action as Battle rages.
