As Phil said, we have nt been for a number of years now, preferring Warfare in November. As we attend in the normal run a number of shows up and down the country, then shopping is not a priority, but rather games with the WOW factor to inspire and refresh a jaded spirit. Clearly cloths with scenery laid over are not going to do this for us. I want to see games a la Cecil B De Mille with scenic effects and casts of thousands preferably!
Could nt go this year anyway, I was in hospital!

I also prefer Warfare - but I would say that as I live in Reading and attend the club on very rare occasions.

I enjoyed Colours this year as meet up with some friends and found a few good VSF bargains.

I thought the B&B this year was a total scrum with the boxes of figures just piled on top of each other I hopefully nobody lost anything in the melee.

Agree that there were no stand out games - but I mainly went for the traders.

I didn't even really bother with the b+b this year. Looking at the hoggers blocking the way it wasn't really worth it.

I never bother with any bring and buy for precisely that reason  ::)
Can't be doing with all that unseemly pushing and shoving over a load of old tat.
