Lets start with 1877:
I love the bugler, movie character or historical heroine?
and for those who are Hungary for more, we go back to 1848:
Next best thing to painting figures and playing a game.....
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.
Well, you made my day! Thanks for those!

P.S. Turn the sound down and this could be Angria, Gondal or any other Imagi-Nation ...
or my armies if I'd come across it 7 or 8 years ago when I was searching.

ReplyDeleteMakes me ponder, with so many rich imaginary wars to play act.. perhaps this is even potentially more appealing than reality at times, at least!
Toy soldiers and escapism? Us?
