Much better than the last two years but room for improvement I thought.
My day at the show is here:

I must say it was cetainly busier than last year and you made a hell of a lot more than me on the bring and buy  :D

I took my camera but didn't really see anything that shouted out 'WOW', there were good games there but nothing to inspire that I haven't seen before, and I do have a paticular eye (and a preference for a paticular type of game). This not being a detrimental comment on the games that were displayed of course  :) I know how much work that goes into sorting them out.

cheers

James

You might want to edit that picture, mate... The wee tank on the right is showing a bad thing.

Otherwise, great report, thank you!

Well spotted Bob, all fixed now.
Unfortunately former user and I both look like idiots now :D

No worries.  :)

Oh, and well done on the bring and buy! That was some result.

Nice show review.
Looking forward to a review of the sable brushes you buy. What brand are they by the way?

The sign next to the game said 1943, I don't think they're that bothered though, could just as easily be 1941.

I got my brushes from Rosemary and Co.

That Rosemary is fast cornering the entire wargames figure painting market!  :)

Lovely report Paul. Thanks. You picked out some really interesting things (love those Wattle & Daub buildings), and I love the asides about the games  ;)

Thanks Paul, great report as always. I did like the photos of the Mediterranean Village and fieldworks with their multi story buildings. I'll have to earmark them for future reference.

One question; what scale was the demo game, "Peace for Galilee?"

IIRC it is 28mm or rather 1/56th I think it was at Salute and very nice too

Great write up Paul.

I agree it was much better than the last couple of years and seemed to be very busy. I spent more time there than in previous years, but managed to keep the wallet intact, too many temptations though...

Sorry, but the cars are way too modern. And isn't that a chieftain tank burning in the streets? And the one in the back loks like a T-55 or something along that line...

misunderstanding here
the first picture posted was about a NA WWII scenario and was replaced by the new one due to a certain flag displayed on top of a vehicle

you can find the original one in the game report through the link

never mind, we can bear it like men  ;), and furthermore, it is educating for users who tend to jump into threads without reading the original topic   ;)
