Skirmish Wargamers' 54mm game at Attack in Devizes

[Doug ex-em4]

The Skirmish Wargamers, a group that specialise in 54mm skirmish games and who are a familiar sight at UK shows, ran Western games on both days at last weekend's Attack show in Devizes, Wiltshire. I took a few photos which I present here.

Their games were obviously enjoyed hugely by the participants and it was a great pleasure to meet Mike Blake, one of their stalwarts and a well-known name for those of us who began using his western rules in the 70s.

As a user of 54mm for western games myself, seeing this game (handily located right in front of my trade stand) was a joy.

That sure is an attractive display!

Awesone stuff, I have his rules somewhere from way back in the day. I think I can spot some Timpo scenery in that display, that certainly brings back happy memories from the 70's.
Thanks for sharing these.

Really nice looking game. I think that’s the first time I see a 54mm Old West game

That is a joy to look at. Great scenery. Beautiful and inspiring.
Thanks for sharing.

Credit should go to Wild Al Winsbury for setting it up and GMing. I have some shots of the quite different set up on the Sat which I will try to post...

That is really awesome!  I run a large 28mm Wild West game and appreciate the work put into this. I am also a 54mm fan. I'd love to do it for the Old West. It would just be too hard.

And the Britains livery stable with large doors added.

That's a great looking table!

@Mike Blake
I'd love to see those other pictures.

Very nice game.
I had a huge collection of Timpo Cowboys , Indians and buildings that I had to sell when we emmigrated in the 70's I wish I still had them.

Awesome looking scenery.


 Is the lady in blue doing her knitting???

Thank goodness! Those 'sneaky roof guys' are always dangerous...
