Warfare

[Yankeepedlar01]

Yep it was good to meet  both new and old friends, sorry I missed Yankeepedlar and his bearer though...
And for the first time ever I went home without purchasing anything not sure how that happened!

Well, we were both there all day on the Sunday! You bought nothing? Call yourself a wargamer? I don't know what the world is coming too... I bought heaps of stuff, literally.

The new Empress Boers, which I think are excellent, even ordered more this morning!

Heaps of loose [Foundry] Indian Mutiny types ~ my 'bearer' says I was as happy as a pig in muck while trawling through all those boxes of loose figures. Actually, he didn't say 'muck'  but you get the idea I'm sure.

Two 20mm WWII French civilians on cycles from Sergeant's Mess, lovely company, great products.

Some Zulu civilian figures [the Foundry range] to supplement the ones I got from Newline, I think, last year to populate my village.

I quite enjoyed the show, though I didn't think that the 'display' games were as numerous as in previous years. The VBCW game was really nice, lots of idiocyncratic details to feast the eyes on; the Warlords' Bulge game impressed me ~ love the rocket firing planes;the 54mm Plastics Western game which looked brilliant I thought, my choice for best game anyway.

.. and if David thought your game was good that is praise, indeed.  He did take photos of these three games, so I imagine they will be in GHQ at some point...........

Remind me, Phil, how many of our SCW games have you won? How many have I won? Must be your turn on Wednewsday then, at last...

Rather neat is it not, quote from GWP "The 'bedstead' is a motor-assisted quadricycle, armed with a B.A.R. - based heavily on the Simms' quadricycle of 1898".

I was there both days, running the participation Freebooter's Fate game in the competition hall.  Managed to have a quick look around some of the other tables and a quick trip into the trading area to check whether a specific trader had stock/ deals available.  Didn't really get the chance to look anybody else up though.  Sorry not to have met you all.
