I have an odd attachment to these shiny 40mm, 1830's to 1840's toy soldiers.
Under the current rules, each stand is a "Company". 2 stands in a square may form a line or a march column. Up to four stands in one square may form a "square" facing 4 directions, or a "mass" 2 wide and 2 deep.
Hopefully there will be a game on Sunday.
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.
They are lovely figures, really nice. I am looking forward to seeing the game.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have a soft spot for these lads.
DeleteAs Donnie said - these figures really look the part.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteFine looking chaps
ReplyDeleteHard to believe they're already more than 15 years old!
DeleteThey are nice figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteLooking forward to what Sunday might bring, Ross!

At this rate, I'll be lucky to finish up next Sunday!
DeleteThere is nothing "odd" about the attachment - they are shiny gems!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I suspect that it helps that there are a number of figures on the table that I sculpted and cast.
DeleteSorry this is late, it's difficult to keep up with blogs these days. One of my favourite collections of yours.
ReplyDeleteMine too.
