Saratoga Campaign delayed by a year

I just noticed that with my move back to Canada, and being so busy with work, it has been about a year since I posted about my plan for summer of 2015. Little did I know when I first made the plans, I would be playing these actions back in Nova Scotia 

Well, since it's now 2016 I shall be conducting this campaign. Hopefully, I will begin gamming it this weekend.

The first step is to clean off my gamming hobby table from a years worth of projects.

Rod Redden and Emi Redden Thirteenth Wedding Anniversary

Ah it was such a lovely day when we got married. And lucky that it was so nice and warm. The sun was shinning. Good memories. And now we are back home to enjoy.

not our wedding day but a happy family together, this was taken while still living in Japan

GNW Russians painted as Colonial American Troops and British

Back in the late winter, I was called into work and happened to be able to stop my one of the few hobby shops in the city. I was delighted to find a set of Zeveda Peter The Great troops.
I was able to buy this set in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan several years ago. Since I got a second set, these I shall paint up as both British units I need to flesh out, and Colonial American units from 1700-1776

Pictures to follow

The first units I have painted up consist of Maryland Colonial troops

Next are three companies of Pennsylvania Regiment

5th Marines, Royal Navy 1740s

Various Colonial Provincial units. I will identify them in a bit

Getting back on track with Blackpowder gamming

Its been awhile since I've had the time or interest to do any work on my 18th century collection. Recently, I was able to get some superglue and start to reglue my metal figures.

Before I ran out, I was able to mount some French Milice, French Regulars, and some Royal Artillery gunners.

Slowly getting troops put together

The RA gunners being escorted by a French officer?!

Spring time, thinking on diversifying

There was an incident at work last night which made my wife upset, and she'd like me to look for other work. I'll try my luck with the airline industry to see what I can get.
Any job which has vacation time would be nice.

Taking stock of my collection, and repairs

Recently, I'm planning on doing some painting and research on certain units. I keep meaning on putting together some unit histories up here, now that I have all of my books and kit together.
