visit and observations of Partizan II 2023
« on: 08 October 2023, 09:46:37 PM »
Went to Partizan II today, a marvellous show. I have put a few pics up on the blog and offered usual commentary and observations.

Here is the link for anyone interested,

Ah Norm I was there would have liked to say hello. Some nice looking games for sure.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

We had heard before the show the bloke at Caliver Books was having a turn out so that was our first stop....I couldn't get near the front of the stall though as a wargamer was literally standing in the middle sorting out 2 or 3 separate battalions of Napoleonic infantry at £1.25 a fig from bargain boxes and closely inspecting each figure as he went .... I found another bargain box though with fantasy and sci Fi figures in it so was quite happy with the treasures I picked up. There were lots of Epic sprues in a tub at the back of the stall right near the open fire exit.
I met Roger C from LAF and was very impressed with his game.
My friends and I all came away quite satisfied I felt it was a good show.

Thanks for the blog post (and the pic of our Monastery - it did get some figures fighting around it by the end of the day!).
The show was superb, always well organised, a lot of fantastic games - possibly an even higher standard this time? - and a lot of interested/interesting punters to talk to.

Dash it all I missed those! What did you pick up?

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Great report.

I got some old Target Sci Fi miniatures, a large insecticide alien and half a dozen fantasy medieval types.
