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.
"Majah! That stone bridge; I know now for sure it's been following us from tabletop to tabletop. Perhaps for months...."
ReplyDeleteWell, once a certain brand of bridge gets to be popular, every county wants to tear down their old bridge and get one of the new ones.
DeleteThe new grid is looking quite nice!
ReplyDeleteYup, a couple of minor goofs but its got potential. I'll keep picking away at it for months probably.
DeleteThanks for the view, Ross, and I like the game-table edging. Try not to have the Dominion troops bottled up in your equivalent of Montreal!

No worry, in 30 years the fighting has never come close to a major city......actually....I'm not sure that there ARE any cities in Atlantica! Let's say the fighting never happens in major political/populated areas, always on the frontiers.
DeleteFrom what I can see of the new table, it seems very promising. I wonder what percentage of your games feature a bridge over a water crossing?
ReplyDeleteAll the best;

I was vaguely wondering thar myself the other day. I blame Lawford & Young (both sample games in Charge! involve a bridge). It doesn't help that a large percentage of battles in Canada involve either a river crossing, an amphibious landing, or at least a flank secured on a river or lake, sometimes with gunboat support.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing what comes next…
ReplyDeleteThe report is already being drafted.
DeleteIt looks like it’s all about to kick off… Hurrah!
