| Yes I admit it, I can be a bit hard on books but to be fair after all the wargames we've played together over the decades, I'm not really in much better shape. |

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 worn copy indeed! I like the old-school picture.
ReplyDeleteGetting close to our 40th wargaming together
DeleteYour book is a veteran campaigner!
ReplyDeleteIt is and its traveled a fair bit a well.
DeleteVery moody looking photo, O.S. suits when the world was in black and white
ReplyDeleteTrue, in many ways!
DeleteGood stuff, I am going to pull out my copy, thank youf or the inspiration
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure!
DeleteYes! Great photo there - now were talking 1960's AIRFIX - great stuff! I've always thought 1/72nd is much better at Big Battles than 28mm.
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on your resources and energy I guess but 1/72 is a good scale for it.
DeleteWow! That 'Green Book' is a showing a lot of mileage!
ReplyDelete38 years of service!
DeleteIt is, after all, a great book, and worth returning to time after time.
