I've been slipping a turn in now and then, in between chores, and the armies have engaged on the Northern flank.
I will have game time on Saturday, so a report should be up on Sunday.

Now Its Getting Serious.
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.

Great to see the Zouaves in action - is the prone figure a marker?
ReplyDeleteFor each stand removed due to casualties, a wounded figure is placed on the table.

Hi Ross, looking at the photos from the game I'm finding is very nostalgic. I started wargaming withe Airfix ACW figures and the unit with the front rank kneeling firing and the second rank standing is just as I use to have them. Ocassionally I'm tempted to aquire some!
ReplyDeleteFrom beyond memory, gifts came in 54mm, 40mm (Marx) and HO/OO (Airfix). No wonder I still can't settle on one scale but have rehomed my 15's and 6mm.
