And So It Begins
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.

Annnnnd We're Back!
Taxes all done, a week earlier than usual! The table has been cleaned and has returned to being a wargame table. I wasn't sure what to put on the field of battle, so I shook my head and "French Revolution in Flanders" came up.

I think there might be a battle tomorrow......

Ahhh, Spring!
The time when my soldiers go into Spring quarters while I spend too much time on cleaning up Winter's debris and preparing for Summer. In the meantime, here's a link to a game from last April:
