Started scratch building a North American colonial Jesuit church for my St. Francis Raid, October 1759 scenario for the HMGS Fall In convention. I’m basing the model on Sainte Marie de Gannentaha, a 1650s mission recreated at the current day Ska-nonh – Great Law of Peace Center near Syracuse, NY.

40 years ago in the late summer of 1986, I, my brother, my dad and his crew restored the tower and cupola of the Livingston County Courthouse in Geneseo, NY. I used the experience to write my college essay to apply to college in the fall of ‘86.

I gotta hand it to @gmtgames.bsky.social — we had a flood at @metrowargamers.bsky.social two weeks ago and while some GMT boxes got soaked, the sturdiness of the boxes kept the contents of a number of games bone dry and playable.
