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.

As reinforcements, already notified by scouting patrols, arrive, the villagers gather what goods and livestock they can, and head for the woods and hills!

For My Next Act.....
Holy Roman Emperor's army clashes with the Sultan's raiders.
Having decided that the Revolutionary French miniatures were not interested in returning to Egypt, it didn't take long to decide that the Mamluks and various infantry would serve a 16thC Turkish Sultan and march on Vienna.
It took longer to get around to reorganizing and, in much of the army, rebasing to match my 16thC armies. More cavalry, guns and infantry will follow if the first raids are worth it.
