Who'll Take The King's Shilling?
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.

Think you're going to have to give your recruits the head's up though...
ReplyDeleteWell, they're 'armless as they are till they pick up their muskets.
DeleteSome have lost their heads over the excitement of a F2F game.
ReplyDeleteThey've heard stories about such things.
DeleteThey need a hand to get ahead.
ReplyDeleteAt least they're not 'armless.
DeleteI do hope they are not getting ahead of themselves…
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid all this fuss will turn their heads.
DeleteIf I'm not getting "ahead" of yourself... I'd recommend watching John Tams' version of "Over The Hills And Far Away" to inspire the Recruits.
ReplyDeleteJust my observation.

Given the sort of recruits these hastily raised regiments nabbed, Fairport Conventions might be more apt.
