And So It Begins
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.

DeleteThere’s nothing quite as exciting in wargaming as shaking out a Union line of battle - I feel sorry for the Rebs!
ReplyDeleteTime will tell.
DeleteI see you're wasting no time blooding the Zouaves. Hopefully they will give good account of themselves.
ReplyDeleteSo far they have faced the rattle of dice steadily.
DeleteNice to see the Zouaves coming on in style…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
