Managed to score one of the last Four A crab riders, among other great stuff. Had a brilliant time. Almost started panic buying right at the end when I realised I still had money left but the wife managed to restrain me!

Having missed it for the third year running if anyone has any photos I'd love to see them.

Good show this year, a few new traders and a lot more punters than last year.

Spent far too much.  :(

In an incredibly smooth move I managed to somehow drop the aforementioned crab rider in my footwell yesterday. Stood on it this morning before I drove to work. Thank god the soles of my shoes are cheap and thin. Felt it before I could do any damage

It was very good. I think the venue has alot to do with it being very light with all the glass frontage. I think Fiasco in Leeds suffers alot from dim lighting which really affects my eyes after a while.

It was very busy which is a great sign (particularly as Fiasco last year seemed very quiet). I overheard a few people asking if they could pay by card as they had run out of cash.

Couple of friends and I got there at 8 mins past 10 and it was already completely rammed. I spent loads and got some nice new toys. Spent most of the day trying to decide what to buy from the Studio McVey stall and ended up buying Sharro which I'm really nervous about making a start on. My friend Anth took some good pics. He posted 'em on facebook but I'll try and get him to post 'em on here. He has a profile.

Makes him sound like some kind of gangster.

Excellent show again, here are a few pics I took

League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers, Tibet Game - Spectacular, always look forward to seeing their games







The Bunkers, Indian Mutiny Game, another grand display from Shaun



The Curtey's, WWII Eastern Front Game, really felt you were in the Ukraine





York Wargames, ECW Seige, always look forward to seeing how they have jiggled the scenery and period.

Super pictures, Phil! Good show too I thought, but Tactica 2014 I hope for a change?

The ECW board was OK but it was a static display rather than a game.

I much prefer to see something going on.
