I was at Cold Wars in Lancaster PA, where Rob Dean & I were cohosting the last scenario in the HAWKS Not Quite The Seven Years War presentation of CS Grant's Raid on St Michel click to see all 5 games (5 posts in reverse order so scroll down to the start).

| Me in 2010, checking some scenario detail. (OMG Look at that hair!) |
Last convention before my little heart incident 3 months later. Here's to a convention in 2022!
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.
Indeed, and to many more!
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteMy but time flies ! , think I have that book somewhere .
ReplyDeleteI think I do as well but I have used it since then. Might be time to dig it out.
DeleteGood to hear your looking forward to the next Convention ROSS. Yes, you've done well after your Operation ten years ago- I'm coming up to passing my first year since my Quadruple Bypass Heart Surgery- feeling pretty good, though some days I do not feel like doing much at all. Best Wishes. KEV. (Sydney-Australia).
ReplyDeleteI still have days like that but more goods as the years go on and I keep doing my best to do what I need to do to avoid having another.
DeleteHere’s to face to face wargaming at home , clubs or conventions this year!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are ahead of us. I doubt the border will be reopen this year.
DeleteCrumbs! To think of being 11 years on from 2010 (let alone how far we are from 2000). Somehow, I still haven't made the cognitive leap to think of dates, post-2000, as being of such "vintage" (to use a polite term). Nevertheless, glad to see that you're still posting and kicking, and hopefully looking ahead to the resumption of Huzzah! in 2022.
ReplyDeleteNext year in Portland oh dicelords!
DeleteHere's to a return to social gaming!
ReplyDeleteThere is at least a good hope of that happening this year if only in small groups.
DeleteA convention... I know this word...
ReplyDeletePeople get together in a room and play with toy soldiers... I read about it in an old book...
Yes please...
All the best. Aly
