Storming Gibraltar 1704 - was anyone there?
« on: 11 May 2014, 05:44:15 PM »
I am trying to track down details of a wargame of the Anglo-Dutch seaborne assault on Gibraltar from a few years ago. The terrain was vast and hugely impressive and there were at least 9 detailed sailing ships on the table. Along with a nicely modelled town and the Rock itself which looks about 3 feet high. There were loads of boats filled with troops and it just looked stunning.

I have a few clues which I hope will help jog someone's memory

The couple of photos I have would seem to show it was 15mm - but I am not certain.
There is a PAW coffee mug in one shot
The large room has some crossed claymore style swords on the wall (mounted on black background)
I am sure they belong to Cross Swords in Ivybridge - but the wording is missing.
The game appears to be labelled "Storming Gibraltar" but the whole label is cropped in the photo.

The swords referred to above are 2 sets of this banner....



Anyone know this? It must have taken a colossal amount of work but Google searches have failed me so far.

Vaguely remember it.
Was it Leeds or one of the Stockton shows?
Gary, Glynis, and Alasdair (there are three of us, but we are too mean to have more than one login)
