There is a bit of a heat wave forecast for the next few days so there may not be much activity in my little oven of a room.

Belmont s'en va-t-en guerre
Despite some rather amazing die rolls by the redcoated company of English infantry, in the end, the Earl of Belmont was forced to retire to Calais. Boulogne is safe for now.
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.
