Happy St. Paddy's Day to all the Irish

Erin Go Bragh
In the wake of recent defeats (not to mention the trouble caused by having so many unemployed discharged soldiers hanging about) the Oberhilse High Council has authorized new regiments of volunteers to replace the recently disbanded 2,3 and 4th regiments of the Oberhilse Field Force.
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.

DeleteHappy St Patrick's day to you too Sir!
ReplyDeleteI love these guys Ross. They look ready to invade Faraway, because nothing sends a message to England like invading Canada. To wit, I quote your fellow Nova Scotian and my history muse, Kate Beaton:
