Show/tell us what you got!
For me,the most expensive crisis yet! Happy camper here!
the loot
first up, stuff for sharp practice, printed copy of the rules and movement trays from warbases
some nicely painted knights from the bring and sell
the show exclusive miniatures, Lippens & De Bruyne, + also from the bring and sell, all the show exclusive minis from past years that i had been missing, giving me a full collection!
victrix higlanders centre and flank box , both incomplete, but 97 minis for the same price as a a 'new box of 60', so happy with that
from Dave Thomas, where i spent nearly a third of my budget:
historical minis to fill out my brettonian army/ use for lion rampant /use for AMW
perry carlist war packs to use as peninsular guerrillas, and victrix french infantry
including this very nice pack of civilians with donkey!
from mark's minitools, a headlight/magnifier, pin vice and drill bits
from eagle figures, spanish garrochista's, french voltigeurs and some odds and ends (including a good looking prussian landwehr figure in clogs with a pitchfork
)
some scenery items, mostly from emperor toads, a pack of pworks 'mordheim' buildings (the white package), and some goats from warbases (i have played a steal the cattle scenario from songs of drums and shakos last year, and it was fun, so i decided to get some goats instead of stealing tokens!)
included are a bunch of walls that are supposed to form a church, but they don't seem to fit togheter. Still was only 5€ so willing to put some effort in for that price.
then something of a bummer, 6 walking dead packs i got for half price, but when i opened them they had french cards instead of english, and the morgan one didn't even have any cards. Not a huge problem as i understand french, but still, they should note that on the box, there is no way of seeing the difference between these and an 'english' box. still great minis though!
also some bolt action stuff from a few different sellers, stug 3 and mortars for my germans and my us airborne
And then last but not least, my package from pendraken (and a pot of camo green that i forgot to order with Leon
inside some hard needed hobby supplies
sherman dd's and some churchills, naval crew and oerlikons
an LCT (yes i immediately had to fill it up with tanks, just for fun)
5 LCM's
My buddy bought into cruel seas so i decided to get landing craft for my guys, so we can combine both games by playing both sea and beach assaults!
So all in all, a great edition of the show for me!
Venue was very crowded though and some stands were near impossible to look at with people swarming around them. Have seen some nice games, in particular a battlegroup game , where we had a nice little chat with one of the club members
Really fun day!
