I am playing the mini-campaign 29, Let's Go! and the name of one of the town "Arthenay" was so familiar to me but I couldn't place why. Yesterday working on my family geneology, I find that it is the birthplace of one Marguerite Manchon who married Sebastian Provencher in 1663 in Canada they had a bunch of kids that eventually resulted in me!

Fascinating connection there Dick, it truly is a small world at times.
You'll need to tell us if finding the connection has any impact on how you play the campaign.

Outstanding pick up (you, that is, not necessarily Sebastian).
Squeaking as somebody else who now plays with platoons deeply connected to my family history, I can vouch that it does add an extra layer of personality to my games.

It did have an impact, I believe. It turned my game around (especially the die throws) I won the 2nd playing of the Flanking St Germain in a most crushing manner, committing only one Squad and a tank to essentially wipe out the Germans!!

Excellent, I'm sure Marguerite would be proud!
