At a time like this, there's nothing like carrying on like usual.
My ACW armies have not been out in some 18 months, the only active collection that hasn't been. Its time to fix that.

Carry On!
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.

DeleteAlways good to see Airfix (and others) on the table, it's where I started my wargaming. Every time I see yours I wish I still had more than a handful of mine. Looking forward to me of this.

I think there maybe 1/2 a dozen ones from my pre-wargaming days but 2/3rds are donations.
DeleteAfter 18 months those wee chaps will need a bit of exercise.
ReplyDeleteThey're drilling for a few days before they serious.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing them
ReplyDeleteand no rivers and bridges...
DeleteGood to see the ACW troops back in action, and the table looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see them back on the table action but...I need to paint more fence sections and repair more trees, and...... Luckily, that sort of thing can go on for years!
