Opening Scene
I'm getting closer!
Haven't had enough free time yet to play but I have managed to finally get the table set for a Saturday War of 1812 game.
I randomnly chose a One Hour Wargame getting a surprise river crossing from the South by Blue. Wasn't hard to decide which army was going to be "Blue".

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.

Instead of North Americans, many of whom were related, shooting at each other, a more bucolic scene might involve going to some quiet place, breaking out a few barrels of ale, some nice sandwiches from the local inn and having lunch. Definitely a more civilized - and less bloody - way to get on with one's closest neighbors. But then again we couldn't have a war game except perhaps as a food fight. :=)
ReplyDeletewell, there was no ale on hand, just coffee but there were cards and dice and no blood or molten pewter was involved so a good time was had by all.
