Yeah, October isn't going as smooth as hoped so there has been neither painting nor playing. A decade ago there was playing though! So, without further ado:

| Battle Report from 10 Oct 2012: The search for the right game in full swing: |
Live action of some sort will resume soon. (I hope!!!)
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.
Love the balloon !
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI'm surprised how many tables I see packed with figures from one end to another and all units can do is advance to contact. As seen here many a time, even with larger figures, having a smaller number of units gives a much better game. I hope the rest of the month sees an improvement for you.
ReplyDeleteAlways a busy season preparing for winter but the storm rather added to the load.
DeleteOutstanding photo. We must still be in summer re-run season.
ReplyDeleteNot at all, this is the pre-winter prep/poststorm cleanup season.
DeleteThe Observation Balloon is the star of the show!
ReplyDeleteStands above the others....
Delete10 years: fine vintage!
ReplyDeleteFeels like more!
DeleteOooh, the baloon is back!
ReplyDeleteOne day, but this is a flashback 10 years.
Deletewhoa! Travelling in 4 dimensions? tbltop = 2 + up & down for 3 + time = 4. One more dimension makes the 5th Dimension. Then we get musical accompaniment:

As others have said, the balloon is great! So much so, that I did not even notice how you were keeping it aloft at first. Reading the original post was interesting as well for the discussion of number of figures/size of table discussion.
ReplyDeleteI am very fond of my balloons. Its good to have talented, imaginitive, generous friends. Best use of a $ store plastic Halloween pumpkin I've ever seen.
