Cleaning House! I'm selling my entire 28mm WW1 collection! Everything must go! Even the trench boards!

Hello everyone, it's been a few months since I've posted on this blog,

As the title states, I am selling my entire 28mm First World War collection. This project has been near and dear to me since I started it several years ago. Alas, as most wargamers are wont to do, I must clean house to make room for new projects (cough-Bolt Action-cough). It makes me sad to see this beautiful collection go, as I have had many fun games with it.

Whether its been going over the top with my fellow Tommies, or creeping up the communications trench to get close enough to those dreaded tanks to use my flamethrower to save my fellow Stormtroopers, this project has always been a joy to see on the table.

With a busy professional career on the go, often being away from home for extended periods of time and having no consistent gaming group nearby, I have been forced to re-evaluate my gaming priorities.

I am hoping that these beautiful figures and terrain can bring some joy to another avid wargamer.

Below are some pictures of the figures, with links to the appropriate Ebay auctions. If you are interested in any of these items, make a bid! And if you are located in the Quebec area, let me know so we can organize local pickup or delivery.

P.S. I also have some odds and sods from around my painting bench up for sale, including various Warlord Games and Perry Miniatures models, both painted and unpainted.

Council Fires 2014

Made the trek to Cambridge on the weekend to attend Council Fires. A great little con that was a staple of the southern Ontario scene in the 90s and resurrected in 2012, it has been resurrected (again) by good friend Vidal Bairos.
 
http://councilfires.ca/
 
Held at the Royal Canadian Legion hall in Preston (a component part of Cambridge), it was a relatively small event, perhaps 50-60 people. But good games nonetheless, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The hall, admittedly, was a bit old (shall we say, from the 50s?...or even earlier) and well-worn but that didn't seem to really affect anything. Gamers are used to playing in basements and garages amongst the laundry, kids toys, and dusty boxes.
 
I was able to walk away with the greatest deal of the day, a Warlord Fallschirmjager box for $10.00 (this retails at $47 USD...so with the current crappy exchange rate...$52 CAD). An excellent deal, no doubt! I also found several blisters of Warlord US paras quite cheap in a bits bin. These and a squad blister from J&M Miniatures will go to Daniel for his  newly-begun late war project. Oh and I guess I should confess another purchase...two blisters of Warlord Soviet Naval Infantry. If Daniel is going to do late war...then I might as well make a contribution. :) But these must wait until I finish up the 1940 Brits.
 
Speaking of Brits, on Saturday, on the way to Council Fires, I stopped at the mailbox and found a package from Warlord Games containing two universal carriers (with crews), a Daimler scout car, and Matilda MkI. So all in all, a great hobby weekend. And I even played in a convention game...yes, i know...hard to believe.
