Yesterday he took command.
Tonight, he is leading his brigade to battle.
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.
Coming up through the Brigade of Guards, he’s certain to have the mettle for the task!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what sort of reception he'll get if he's ever captured.
DeleteFast-tracked to the front! The battlefield looks great. I like all your fences - I was reading about the Battle of Guildford Courthouse yesterday with its fenced fields and wooded terrain!
ReplyDeleteCheap $ store items. Wish I had more of the best ones.
DeleteI’m sure he will make all the difference, maybe.
ReplyDeleteWell, at the very least there will be more flexibility to the army and a less adhoc structure.
DeleteCometh the hour cometh the (tin) man!
ReplyDeleteHis Shining hour perhaps.
