The figure in the middle is our rendition of Tijl Uilenspiegel. It's this year's free figure for the Crisis wargame show in Antwerp.Since Crisis keeps growing we have upped the number of free figures from 1600 to 1700. So the first 1700 visitors will find it in their goodie bag. The other two figures representing his faithful companions Nele and Lamme Goedzak, will be sold as a limited run set of 450. This set comes complete with a scenic base and a presentation box for 10 Euros and will be sold at the show. Sculpted by maestro Paul Hicks and cast by Griffin Moulds so you know they will be superb!
-
Excellent . I am making my first visit there this year
-
Those are very nice indeed, especially Lamme Goedzak (who'd make a good double for Porthos, too).
-
Who is coming to Crisis this year...And why?
-
Crisis has become sort of a tradition for myself and the Voivod, so we'll be there. Mostly to spend and chat of course. :D
Those minis look superb! Tijl Uylenspiegel was mandatory reading when I was a wee lad, but I never realised that this was the period the stories were set in! I might never use them as such, but they'd make excellent armed civilians for an 80 Years War game I'm hoping to one day start...
-
Ugh, I wish I could go. Been there twice, had an amazing time, couldn't go last year, can't go this year. :(
-
Wow, those are superb.
I cannot make it unfortunately. :(
-
I will as it's just accross the border from where I live. My youngest accompanied me last year and wants to go again. Will do a little shopping and hope to play a Lardies game as that has become a kind of personal Crisis tradition for me :)
-
Koekie, how can I get a set? I'll be assisting the PSC shop all day and I doubt I will be able to leave before 14:00 to get a set.
-
Johan, we 'll have one reserved for you.
-
looking good will be there!
-
I will certainly be at Crisis with my Sky Galleons and will certainly want the entire set. Is it possible to pre-order?
-
I'll be back trading again. Love the show!
-
Favourite show of the year :)

Hi all,
in case it is not yet known, Antwerpen City Centre (i.e. anything within the circular motorway) has apparently been declared a restricted-traffic area requiring vehicle registration to access.
Modern vehicles meeting the EURO-4 to EURO-6 exhaust gas standards (and some older non-Diesel vehicles) may enter the area without having to pay fees (for the time being), but you'll have to register your car to avoid being fined.
I am unsure on how exactly it applies to Belgian and Dutch vehicles, but apparently any vehicles licensed in EU states MUST Register until 24h after entry to the zone (or preferably in advance) or will be fined if entering the restricted zone.
The Registration process, from submission of application, is stated to take a maximum of 10 days, so anybody intending to drive to Crisis will have to register and should do so quickly.
Here's a link to an Information page with a further link to the Registration process:

Thanks Chris
Will save a lot of hassle by registering.

As I understand it, Belgian license plates do not need to register beforehand as long as the confirm to the emission standards.

Should be no problem for me then? Car is only 4 months old!
-
Thx a lot for the information, about the registration.
-

I assume so myself, since the system probably has access to Belgian vehicle registration databases and can therefore verify Belgian licence plates directly. Foreign vehicles not in said database would then have to register separately.
The actual process is not that bad (similar to the Congestion Charge in London) if a bit tedious, and of course you'll have to supply various data which I am not too happy about, but it's either that or triple the cost and double the time if going by train (for me).
-
Thanks for the info !!! Saves a lot of hassle on the day!
-
Good to know. Fortunately my car seems ok for the next 7 years, unless they change the rules. I'll inform my friends to check in advance.
-
Thanks for the info :)
Sometimes I love the EU, no showing of ID cards or such, but 1/2 hour car registration...
cheers and see you at Crisis, Thomas
P.S. The car park 5 min from Crisis seems to be not inside the LEZ ?
-
I’m popping over for my second ever Crisis - looking forward to it :D
-
2nd for me too LT. :0)
-
last year, at CRISIS it was the public work, making Anvers looks like Beyrouth in 1982.
this year, the LEZ car trap !
what is the 2019 surprise ? o_o
-
Rules don't seem too strict though. My 20 year old Volvo is allowed in till 2024 without extra charge... ::)
And good point about the 'outer' car park! :D
-
For those who have to register their cars and in theory that is everybody who is driving a non-Belgian or Dutch registered car, you have time to do this till 24 hours after your visit. It would not be our fault if you should forget this afterwards and the council can't access the database of your country to send you the fine. What a pity for them. ;) ;) ;)
Also it is a fact that if you exit the motorway in Merksem exit 1 (second part) you can follow straight through passing the cinema complex crossing a bridge and a second (draw)bridge then slightly bend with the road and just before the next (draw)bridge there is a space where people leave their cars if they don't want to enter the LEZ (I can't call it a parking lot because it officially isn't.)
For those who want to aprk their cars next to the venue please do not forget to pay your parking ticket or the council will again have to find you in some non-accessible database. lol

If i well understand what you mean, from Merksem to the parking it's not in the LEZ ?
-
As long as you park before the last little bridge yes.
-
Here's a quick made map with the safe route from the motorway to the parking lot just outside the LEZ.
-
Thanks Jericho, smaal note : the motorway is never part of the LEZ even if it passes the zone.
-
Thank you boys, that could be very useful for some of my club buddies to come to CRISIS
