Dominion agents have heard word that the Rebels had collected a cache of arms and supplies at the little settlement of Goose Lake. With the newly raised NW Mounted Rifles having just marched in the night before, Colonel Ross issued orders for an expedition to march in the morning.
The question on everyone's mind was "What would they find?".
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, 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 Italian Greyhounds and 3 cats. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 160 yr old farmhouse and just living.
If I know those sneaky rebels it will be more than moonshine or tobacco!
ReplyDeleteNot licorice drops either...
DeleteAt Goose Lake, I expect a cache of foie gras.
ReplyDeleteBeing sold tax free on the black market? Could be!
DeletePerhaps a duvet factory amidst the goose down?
ReplyDeleteTell us of the colourful measuring stick if you please.
Ah, its a modification of an old device, halfway between a ruler and the grid. Each band is a fixed amount, in this case, 4" like the grid, in other cases I have made them equal to a base width for rules where movement etc were in multiples of a base width.
DeleteIts easy for even weak eyes to read from a distance and there is no haggling over quarter inches. I had thought about using it instead of the grid for this game but as it turns out, I used the grid.
Ross, looking forward to the action.
