The Stylish Blogger Award

I've been informed that I've been nominated for the "The Stylish Blogger Award".

The rules for the nomination are:

Rule Number 1: Thank those who nominated you:

Thanks to Fabrizio Davi' whose blog is The Torgau Project about the Battle of Torgau during the Seven Years war using the great rules Volley and Bayonet. Fabrizio lives across the pond in Italy and I have some fond memories of Vicenza and Venice from my time in the U. S. Army. There are no bad restaurants in Italy, some are better than others, but there are no bad ones!

Rule Number 2: Say 7 things about yourself:

1. I've been married to the love of my life for almost 25 years.

2. I have 5 fantastic sons and one future daughter-in-law (wedding is on July 2!)

3. My first wargame (5th grade) was Avalon Hill's Panzer Blitz.

4. I still have my first wargame which is Avalon Hill's Panzer Blitz.

5. I served 22 years as an infantry officer in the U. S. Army

6. My favorite childhood fictional hero is John Carter of Mars.

7. I play with toy soldiers.
