Ambush!
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

On The Road To Chevarie
Autumn is in full flow, the harvests have been harvested, the leaves are falling, but snow is still weeks away. The British forces have rested after their victory at the abatis, and after a council of war, the decision has been taken to proceed northeast on the coastal road along the Minas Basin.
The captain of the Rangers pressed the importance of sending out scouting parties well ahead of the main body but the British general dismissed that idea. He was intended on a quick march, with just a near scouting party, so the column would surprise the French at Beausejour, and did not think the French would have the guts to set another ambush.............

The End Of The Year Is Getting Near
My Winter preparations are unusually starting to coming to completion early. (Must be getting older than I feel.) Every remaining collection has seen action during 2026 and soon free time will increase. (Especially since I no longer have wheels!)
What periods, scenarios, etc would folks like to see in the time that remains in 2026? If there's something you'd like to see, drop in a comment or, if you're shy, email me. (rmacfa@gmail.com). On the side bar there are links to past posts in the various periods.
