 One of the actions I want to do on a table is 2PPCLI actions against the 9th Guards of the Croatian army. In 1993, the Canadian government downplayed this action as it didn't fit in with the ideas of what the public saw as Peacekeeping.

  So I sold some kits to a friend of mine and their cat didn't approve. So I've replaced and kits bashed a bunch to do up. Does that mean I will toss this one. Oh heck no, my Scottish blood doesn't allow me to waste. This will become an objective marker

 The United Nations Peacekeeping force sent to the Balkans had a horrible mission to try and fulfill l. The 1990s has gone down in history as a low mark of these operations due to what was going on in Europe, Africa, Asia. The Cambodian Civil War did end, the Lebanese C General MacKenzies Flak Vest from his time there in the Canadian War Museum ivil War also seemed to end as did the conflict in El Salvador.  However as a young man, I remember seeing the news and wondering how Canadian troops were going to fare. The commanding general Lewis Mackenzie was from Truro, Nova Scotia and I remember reading his book.

 I put together a force of infantry in M113 ACVs back when I originally had a Cold War based 1/72 collection mixed in with my 1/87. The group consists of G3 armed troops with the carriers.
