Great news - I'll suppose that you'll accept pre-orders for convention pick-up ?

Seems like there are going to be quite a few "first timers". I am going to be one of them with Stoessi's Heroes (http://sh-store.blogspot.de/). :)

Looking forward to one of my favorite shows and to meeting some of you in person.

@Chris
I have you on my list of traders that I am definitely going to visit and that I'd like to chat with.

Fantastic, Ann & I are really looking forward to this show as it is the first time we have been. We are going to be coming over in our camper van and spending a couple of days sight seeing in Belgium before the show. We will be setting up the day before and either camping on showground or very near to it, so plenty of time to catch up and talk to other traders. We're always interested in deals to supply our products to European retailers and to carry products that compliment our ranges.

Good idea.
If they want the LAFers could meet at my game table (g03b01 in Hall 1) - http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=94456.0

How do you spot a LAFer at a convention?  :) Crisis 2016 will be my first wargame convention and very much looking forward to it. I was wondering is there any social meet-ups by attendees before or after it? I was thinking of checking out the Outpost gaming store...or else a good Belgian bar. I am heading over from Dublin with a friend and we are going to take in the Ypres Salient and then get the train to Antwerp.

Oh, and any tips for train tickets if we are going to using trains 3 days over the 5 day-trip (Brussels - Ypres/Ypres - Antwerp/Antwerp - Brussels)? Would a book of 10 tickets between us work out better than individual tickets, does anyoen know?

Regards,

Warren

Warren,

the site of the Belgian national railway is available in English. There you can select the timetable and also calculate ticket prices : http://www.belgianrail.be/en/Default.aspx.

I would think that you'll be better of with a Railpass http://www.belgianrail.be/en/travel-tickets/passes-cards/rail-pass.aspx (10 single trips). If you go for this option, be sure to fill the pass out before boarding the train.

You'll also have to think about bus/tram passes - https://www.delijn.be/en/vervoerbewijzen/ritkaarten-dagpassen/

Thanks Gnomehome for that. We took your advice and used the railpass and had a an excellent and very moving tour of the WWI 'Ypres Salient' area. We then headed to Antwerp for Crisis, which was a jaw-dropping experience. So many great displays and far too many wargame goodies to want and buy!  :o  :) Well done to the Tin Soliders of Antwerp for an excellent show and to all those who put on games. It was great fun getting a run through of my newly-purchased Chain of Command rules from the Lardies themselves in a fun and very-well presented WW2 game.
