Even to those who have never gotten closer to Canada than a blog or two! :)
As I was clearing up the ACW game, there was a twitch in my brain and my table has been 'slightly adjusted' again before laying out a simple game for my 54's who haven't been out since last September, and umh..this day last year! If I break out the 54mm Dominion forces on Canada Day next year, it just might become a tradition.

The actual game will probably get played tomorrow or the day after as the temperature in my room is now up into the 30+Celsius range. (-30C is easier to deal with!)
Happy Canada day to you too! Hope it cools down enough for battle to commence.. ( it's been the same over here too)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Here's to proper weather returning.
DeleteWhat a marvellous 'switch'. It looks grand! I trust that you spent an enjoyable Canada Day, if not in your game room.
ReplyDeleteFunny. I'd far rather the positive than negative version of the temp. Guess that's why we each live where we do?! 😀
Best wishes, James
Oh I prefer positive weather but with moderation!
DeleteRoss, I could think of worse traditions. Happy Canada Day, my friend. Always good to see your Dominion Forces giving the Fenians a push. I still have the dream of doing Eccles Hill one day.

Ah! Eccles Hill is only about 20k from my late Uncle's farm where a young me used to spend part of my summer vacations. Alas, the old farm is long gone.
DeleteHappy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteI've been to 2 different parts of Canada, Montreal and BC (Vancouver and Victoria) and loved it all. I have had ancestors (great grandparents and preceding generations) and good friends and colleagues from Canada. Yeah, I have a soft spot in my heart for Canada and Canadians.
I wish you some relief from the heat! We've been getting some days as hot as 95F/35C, and it's not good weather for me.
I grew up across the river from Montreal and spent a few years in Victoria when I was a young man in uniform. But the East coast suits me best.
DeleteWell! Happy Canada Day, Ross! I admit I had to Google the day to see what it's about. Some neighbor I am, eh? Stay cool and game on, cousin.
ReplyDeleteThanks. 15 yrs ago I made the error of heading down through Maine on the 4th of July with an eye to visiting some historical sites. Parades anywhere can sure block traffic!
DeleteA good tradition to maintain. Happy Canada Day. Stand on Guard!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteHappy Canada Day to you and yours.

Happy Canada day !
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦. 54mm game each year would be a lovely tradition to set 🙂
ReplyDeleteAnd a most happy Canada day to you Sir!
ReplyDeleteEven more belated Happy Canada Day, a time to forget about troublesome neighbours except on a 6 x 4 table (feel free to choose own size of table)
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day Ross. Enjoying a game on Dominion Day sounds like a great tradition to start
