Just a quick update: Crisis 2014 is on november 1st at the same venue as the last years.
http://www.tsoa.be/crisis_traders.html (http://www.tsoa.be/crisis_traders.html)
This is the list for 2014 though it still says 2013, somewhat of a computer thing that seems more difficult to change than expected.

Would love to be there this year, but, alas I'll be visiting Belgium next September to see Kris and visit my Great Uncle's place of rest at Polygon Wood.
Very keen to pick-up the WW1 Belge miniature for Crisis if anyone wants to part with.
Thank you,
Helen

Highly doubtful :
The Polygon Wood Cemetary is located near Zonnebeke (West-Vlaanderen)

We'll be trading again this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone again - and the magnificent buffet!

I just heard from Richard at Otherworld Minis that he will be at Crisis and he will have Otherworld Skirmish on hand. I'm not clear if this is a demo or the rulebook to look at, but whatever he has planned should be great!
-
The Studio Miniatures team will be there for the first time and we are really looking forward to it.

Drat, should've scheduled that surgery 2 weeks later :?
On the bright side, now I can go to Odit convention tomorrow, SELWG next week and F.A.C.T.S. in 2 weeks :D

I'm really looking forward to the event.
Any details about the post-crisis dinner on saturday evening? I am trying to stay for the whole weekend this time :)

Wish we could be there.
Maybe next year.....
On the meantime, hope you all have a good show, and post lots of pics here for us to envy you.
And if anyone happens to have a surplus figure or two we'd be happy to receive...

Hi All,
Empress Miniatures will be there so come and say Hi.
Pre orders are always a very sensible idea and we are taking them until next Wednesday. Please e mail us at mail@empressminiatures.com.
See you there.
Regards,
Paul
-
Will you have your vehicles and the Mutton Chop Range with you? Perhaps some pre-order discount?
-
We plan to take a lot of goodies but some items such as Mutton Chop and our vehicles sell very fast so pre orders are advisable.

So, a day later, how was Crisis this year?
As usual a lot of great gaming tables and traders, personally I think from modelling point of view the average quality of the gaming tables was higher then last year :)
I recognized some nice changes in the setup/organisation:
the whole venue for me seemed fine tuned :), a more and better setup "food court", the setting of gaming and trade stands I found quite varied, no long strait boring lanes. The bring & sell section was better placed and a second set of toilets improved the situation further. However paying 10.-€ entrance fee AND having to pay to go for a pee...... :(
The parking was free for the early visitors only, because a lot of space was reserved for traders, but not needed :-[
All in all I enjoyed the 10th Crisis I visited very much and will be there in 2015 :) :)
-
was there, met a few people I know from the forum, that was nice, had a nice day...
it appeared to me they now distributed presented games and traders more evenly between the two halls - not sure how I like this....
I prefer gamers to be close together so that we can meet and discuss easier.
the most remarkable experience for me was seeing the Keren set-up in the flesh - it was mesmerizing, it can't be caught in pictures how it feels to stand next to it. First time for me in miniature wargaming ever that the expression "willing suspension of disbelief" got a true meaning....
I had the impression that the number of traders this year doubled, it was overwhelming - I always have to make several attempts to see everything.
sadly, I did not get the special miniature although I paid the entry fee....
Anyway, I hope they got the costs covered so that they can do it next year again. It is important to have such a large convention on mainland Europe
-
I enjoyed myself immensely, but....
you had to pay to pee....?
Sorry, never noticed that...
-
if You used the toilet next to the catering.... ;)

The toilet way at the back as well. But I didn't really mind to be honest.

klopt, 50 cents per wee wee....

Back home in Blighty after a cracking weekend trading at the show. Lovely to meet some of you there. Thanks also to all at TSA for making this such a welcoming and friendly event. The evening traders buffet event was fantastic (every show should have one) and even included a proposal of marriage!
-
which reminds me of thanking Gringo Ged for bringing the mule train along - the beauty of the animals triggered some research into 19thC mule breeding I was unaware of before

glad to be of service!! ;)

It was so great to see all the LAF'ers in person! And to thank you guys for all the hours of joy I get from my hobbies and that you've all help make possible!
-
Agree with all said so far about what fun Crisis is. it's the highlight of our gaming year.
It was great to meet some fellow LAFers there. I had a nice chat with former user and some of the German contingent who came along. It's a great European meet.

and THX for the nice chat with You guys too, Rich :D

Thank you! Several people made similar comments and it certainly made it worthwhile hauling the mountain over to Antwerp (it did also help that we had awesome lighting in that part of Hall 2). Great job by the TSA and such a friendly, chatty event. Will have to go again very soon.

it was a very good show and again much better then last year
