Several weeks had passed since the affair at the crossroads. Both armies had fallen back, reorganized, abandoned the new drill and resumed the old ways. Now both were ready to engage again.

| Various outposts were established to warn of the approach of the enemy. The Buff's had the luck to be posted near to Lindie's where those who were off duty could quaff some ale and get a decent meal until the call to arms came. |
To be continued.
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.
So good to see these armies again. Perhaps my favourite of your collections. Their games always seem to have something extra. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, a fictional setting seems to free the imagination a little. I'll credit Lawford & Young whose Charge! with fictional countries was my 2nd book on wargaming.
DeleteLooking forward to this very much indeed. The riflemen look like they mean business as they scout ahead…

They would have liked to occupy the woods sooner, but the scenario said they had to start on the hill and these lads usually follow orders!
