Much better than the last two years but room for improvement I thought.
My day at the show is here:

I must say it was cetainly busier than last year and you made a hell of a lot more than me on the bring and buy

I took my camera but didn't really see anything that shouted out 'WOW', there were good games there but nothing to inspire that I haven't seen before, and I do have a paticular eye (and a preference for a paticular type of game). This not being a detrimental comment on the games that were displayed of course

I know how much work that goes into sorting them out.

cheers

James

You might want to edit that picture, mate... The wee tank on the right is showing a bad thing.

Otherwise, great report, thank you!

Well spotted Bob, all fixed now.
Unfortunately former user and I both look like idiots now

JollyBob · « **Reply #6 on:** September 13, 2009, 08:44:59 PM »

No worries.

Oh, and well done on the bring and buy! That was some result.

Nice show review.
Looking forward to a review of the sable brushes you buy. What brand are they by the way?

former user · « **Reply #8 on:** September 13, 2009, 09:13:21 PM »

never mind, I'm used to look like an idiot

the other pic is even better

what did I miss in the first one? for 1942? tghought I was rather fit in WWII
why don't you just sploch some red over the bad thing and repost it?

54 mm - wow

The sign next to the game said 1943, I don't think they're that bothered though, could just as easily be 1941.

I got my brushes from Rosemary and Co.

That Rosemary is fast cornering the entire wargames figure painting market!

Lovely report Paul. Thanks. You picked out some really interesting things (love those Wattle & Daub buildings), and I love the asides about the games

Thanks Paul, great report as always. I did like the photos of the Mediterranean Village and fieldworks with their multi story buildings. I'll have to earmark them for future reference.

One question; what scale was the demo game, "Peace for Galilee?"

IIRC it is 28mm or rather 1/56th I think it was at Salute and very nice too

Great write up Paul.

I agree it was much better than the last couple of years and seemed to be very busy. I spent more time there than in previous years, but managed to keep the wallet intact, too many temptations though...
