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.
Always nice to see Elastolins on the tabletop. You have set the scene well for this forthcoming adventure. Always a joy to spread your blog over coffee and breakfast.

Glad to read that. I'm afraid it slows the games down sometimes while I just look at the table.
DeleteOh can't wait to see what happens !

DeleteGreat pics Ross. The cattle are in nice unusual poses.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of my uncles' small herds of dairy cows in my youth.
DeleteHow many different armies have rustled those cows through the ages? (Or tried to, at least...)
ReplyDeleteIn two countries and many ages!
