Its been over a year since my semiflat Prince August troops
last saw action My Irish Grenadiers have never seen action. In May Rob & I will be running two Not Quite The Seven Years War games at Huzzah in Maine and its been a few months since our last remote game.
All that adds up to time for a remote NQSYW game!

| The troops set up in accordance with the scenario. This is roughly the camera angle that Rob will see tomorrow when we connect with Google Hangout for the game. |
The scenario is
Forlorn Hope 2 from Scenarios for All Ages by Asquith & Young aka The Red Book. If all goes well there should be a report by Monday.
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.
Looks extremely promising!

DeleteHi Ross- Looking excellent- a Battle against Earthwork Redoubts- won't be easy on the Attackers. Looking forward to the commentary and photos of the Battle. I note that the Force is about 100 Figures on the Attacking side- and ALL singular bases....this gives me the impression that I shouldn't have much difficulty moving my Forces of about 120 Figures ( All single bases). I'm no where near this total yet - much painting to do in the mean time. Regards. KEV.
ReplyDeleteHey Kev, yes I find 100 - 150 dingle figures easy enough for 1 person to handle. If they are all close order troops in ranks it gets a little tedious but one can always make movement trays if it becomes too tsdious.
DeleteTerrific fun!I really look forward to seeing what happens next in the game--
ReplyDeleteI have been swithering about painting my prince August chaps as 18th Century Spanish to fight my semi-flat indians.I'm sort of thinking about the Spanish in Nebraska in 1720 for example- what do you think of the idea?

Sounds like a great idea to me. Double service.
