..... a passing hot air balloon snapped a picture of opposing Union and Confederation cavalry heading for an encounter.
I feel a battle coming on.

Almost a century later and over 1,000 miles away ......
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.

DeleteLooking forward to reports, once the smoke clears ⚔️🎲⚔️🎲😎
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find that the last acw game was a year ago!
DeleteI'll admit I quite like encounter games - possibly my competition background back in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteEsp for solo games with rules that are A moves then B moves rather than written orders, (esp if dice or cards determines who moves first at the start of each turn so that things aren't always predictable,
