A couple of energetic Halifax gamers (not me) have organized a small weekend wargame convention, hopefully the first of many. Its been decades since the last small one that I can remember so I figured it was my duty as well as to my possible long term benefit, to support them so I'm going to run a game and hopefully play in something new to me.

However the real point of this post is that my friend Paul will run a 25mm ECW game. For the scenario he is planning, he needed some more Scots gunners. Knowing that back in 2010 I had sculpted and cast up a regiment of Lowland Scots ( one figure in neutral pose with open hand), he asked if I could cast up and paint 6 gunners for him. Job Done! (see above)

I do like not having to find quarters, pay and rations for new figures!
Have you decided what type of game you're going to run yet Ross? (Prince Valiant! - subliminal message)
ReplyDeleteYes. :) Prince Valiant's companions will be appearing soon!
DeleteWhen I saw the first line of this I immediately thought 'Hello, what's that bunch of reprobates up to now' before realizing it was Halifax in Canada, not the bunch I had dealings with in the 70s... the names and times keep flooding back...
ReplyDeleteIt is possible that there are reprobate wargames on both sides of the pond.......
DeleteI checked Google. 9 and a half hour drive from here to Halifax. I don't think me or my car could make the trip in one piece! When are they going to bridge the Bay of Fundy, Ross?! 😋
ReplyDeleteThere's always the ferry if you have a chunk of spare cash :)
DeleteThe subsidy system at its finest: you supply the troops; they provide the support. And everyone gets to play with toy soldiers.
ReplyDeletePaul has a real old school ECW collection as almost all of the figures come from 3 or 4 collections, mostly Minifigs, painted in the 70s when the owners were in college.
