Great report, thanks for sharing. Gutted I didn’t get to my local show this year.

Would you mind asking Chris where the galleys are from?

Fantastic!
All you need now is more ships, and more troops, and more, sea and more, and more, and more...
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Thanks gents, as we each had a ship each the number of ships was just about right, albeit that it represent hardly even a slice of the real battle.

That said can you imagine it on a 24 foot table with 2 dozen ships per side, aggghhh get thee behind me!

Thanks for the comments.
