It was a lazy August day after a few quiet months, but things were about to change. The Union army was on the march!
Already the entire Second Division was concentrated at the White Bridge over the Blutomac River, with the First Division marching hard to join them while only one Rebel Brigade had been identified as defending the bridge.
What could go wrong?
Battle looms.
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.
Looks quite serene.
ReplyDeleteGood day for a picnic.

DeleteThis looks a little like a scenario I have seen before... somewhere. It did not go very well for the Austrians. Guess who was commanding the Austrians... If this is what I think it is, somebody is in for some exciting times!
ReplyDeleteAny resemblance to battles real or imagined is purely inspirational :)
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteThis has all the indications of being one of your classic battles! I look forward to seeing what happens next!
All the best,
Bob
