The Oberhilse army has reorganized although a few battalions of volunteers and a few squadrons of cavalry are not yet ready to take the field.
While the army is waiting for reinforcements, a series of drill sessions are being held.

Preparing For Battle
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.

Old veterans but no more white trousers.
DeleteHi Ross,
ReplyDeleteSplendid work! There’s nothing quite like a parade ground drill session to show off a newly reorganised army.
All the best, Andy
Thanks. Just 2 nearly ready infantry battalions and 2 cavalry squadrons to go. For this side at least.
DeleteA fine array ready for action! I like the close up of your new backdrop too.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, James
Lovely set of figures with character - I am sure they have many tales tell and more to make!
ReplyDeleteGood tales to share and bad tales to tell the new recruits.
