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.

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.
