Some Partizan Pics (2011)

[Westfalia Chris]

Hi all,

I've uploaded a bunch of pics I took at Partizan. Focused mainly on my favourite tables, although I spent most of my time chatting up poor old James Morris over his marvellous Abyssinia table.

Worcester 1651 (fictitious scenario):



ACW Ironclad action from Peter Pig, IIRC:



Operation Barbarossa:



Abyssinia:

Some great games there Chris, thanks for posting them. I wish I had gone now

Did you pull? 


It is a rather wonderful table though, isn't it?

some good pictures, and I was only in the background of one of them

I'm HOPING that Chris doesn't know the difference between 'chatting to' and 'chatting up'......

Thank you for posting the pics Chris, there are some very evocative shots in there.

Chris' English is impeccable, so it was very naughty of me to mock, but I think just this once he picked the wrong idiom ...with hilarious results.  

[Westfalia Chris]

Curses! Once more, I am falling afoul of colloquial idioms being used with a different meaning than what I was taught at school (i.e., the meaning I learnt was "subjecting somebody to a barrage of shallow conversation without due restraint"). This was the early 1990s, so I cannot fathom if it should be taken as our English schoolbooks trying to be overprotective or just painfully unaware of colloquialisms. It wasn't quite "I say, Dick, I had a jolly gay time shopping for Fairy", but it's close, I guess.

Meant it jocularly, obviously, but the other connotation you are referring to I was indeed NOT aware of. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. I would make a "petard hoistage" joke if it wouldn't take on such an unfortunate meaning under these circumstances.  

Honestly, I'm really getting the impression I should get a smartphone just to be able to double-check with dict.cc before any conversation  ...

No offence taken, and I can assure you that I would struggle to say anything that clearly auf Deutsch!

Missed this somehow. I always like to look at show pictures

The 3^rd should be edited though...

I really love that Worcester 1651 table but it gives me expensive ideas.

Gahh! Cannot believe that happened to me of all people - fixed it.

Superb tables! I'm really impressed  I particularly like the naval wargames table from peter pig. There's something about that table that I just love.

Thanks for sharing!
