Aux Armes!
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.

Annnnnnnd I'm back.....
I've been away visiting family but now I'm home and there are a vaste number of outside chores waiting......BUT...it's raining, not just one day, but most of the week, or more. (Yay!)
Now, I happen to have some new-to-me French Revolution troops which have been drilled and reinforced, and are ready to get into action. I have a feeling they will be sent to the West Indies....

| West Indies |

| Breton rising |
Or it could be in Flanders, early in the wars.......
I'd better start collecting news and awaiting the votes from Parliament as to which expedition should be attempted.
