And the winner is?
The Tricornes have it!
However, to reflect the votes for The War of 1812 ("with Indians") and for what our southern neighbours like to call "The French & Indian Wars" (The term wasn't in common usage in Quebec where I grew up.), and since I've been wanting to get back to my nascent colonial-ish NQSYW, over the mountains to Furland, setting, I'm going to set the mini-campaign there, complete with the introduction of native allies and local militia.
I'd like to include an amphibious landing, and a siege of sorts but that's for the end of the month. For now, back to some games for the runners up.
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.

I knew I shoulda' voted more than once for Prince Valiant (vote early and often, as the saying goes). Tricorne is going to be splendid, however: it's all good!
