Its Quiet, too quiet!
Since the repulse of the Oerberg Expedition in August, the southern border of the Kapelle Territory has been uneasy.
The town called Missisjones is an important mining centre in the hills of southern Kapelle, not far from the border with Oerberg. A garrison has been left to hold the town and patrol the border. So far all has been quiet but no one believes that the quiet will last forever.
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.

Good to see the train in action!
ReplyDeleteIt is, esp after the pain of chopping up a very pretty toy train to make it fit my small table!
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteJust the sort of scenario I've been want to read about for some time. I look forward to reading your battle report.
All the best,
Bob
I'm afraid there will be a slight delay. Hopefully it'll be ready for your Monday morning coffee.
DeleteThe train looks great. The ploughed fields are they just painted or do they have a textured effect to them? The other photo is filled with promises of excitement to come.
ReplyDeleteThey are just painted. In retrospect I should have painted them on separate bits of cloth so I could move or remove them when they are in an awkward place or inappropriate setting. Still, they aren't hard to hide when needed.
DeleteIs this a raid...or is it the advance guard of a more substantial effort?
ReplyDeleteIts hard to tell.
DeleteI like your train ;)
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like a little toy train?
DeleteHave to agree with the Gentlemen above, lovely to see a train and a fine looking game to come. Missisjones, great name - there's definitely a thing going on.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. (Thought it might be a bit too obvious but sounded good enough for me)
Delete(Smith, Jones etc)
DeleteThere wouldn't happen to be a Mr Churchillian in the train would there?
ReplyDeleteIf there is he didn't report his presence to me. Its an idea though.
DeleteCool stuff. I too am quite partial to the train.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It'll be back.
