Cheers for the photos Giles!

Did you not feel there was too many games using just carpet, blankets and battle mats this year? We noticed it especially at the entrance into the hall after the initial shambles of queuing! You would think to put on a nice display game at th door. First impression last and all that!

There was only three I can think of, that stood out. In reverse order.....the Jurassic Park board.....the Mierce Miniatures bridge leading to the big pillared temple(cool!)..... but the best by a loooooong shot, was our very own Jimbibbly! The Japanese castle was a stunning centre piece to a great board! :-*

Yes.
Mats and MDF at every turn. Meh ::)

Ah well, I suppose the current craze for printed velour mats is a slight advance on upturned Subbuteo cloths...

The Falklands table was more like it... And there were quite a few other lovely looking tables there with proper terrain.
Personally I always like the Gripping Beast mini demo games for Saga. Great little pieces of scenic modelling - very evocative  :)
