I was tempted but the danger that I would squish the Squash etc behind me was too great. One of these days though, I 'll go outside on some freshly mown grass, get down on my knees and play.

| Waves of Yankees attacking through a cornfield. |
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.
Thank you from the former colonies. The heavy firing of the artillery shells (fireworks) just died down, and now I only hear the occasional shell exploding.
