Skirmish Wargames Show Sept 17


Posties not been a well chap recently, so I didn't know if we were gonna make Skirmish last Sunday.
But obviously we did, Postie put on a brave face and drove us up the A2 to Sidcup.
Col Bill was very glad to see us!


Not sure if they were, but numbers did seem down from the April show?
I guess being so close in date to Colours affected business?

  1. Appreciate the photo recap of the show,Ray. In the photo of the 6mm Napoleonic game, do you know who makes that Italian hill village? I WANT one!

    1. I think that village is possibly from Total Battle - see http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/bigbattalions/6mm/spanish-italian.html

  2. Great posting, Ray. Putting it together must have taken you a good while, so many thanks indeed for spending the time on it. Such a pity the show is so far North, as your pics make it appear to have been a pleasant gathering. Plus some nice Donnybrook swag :-)

    1. One of the guys at the game showed me one of his homemade artillery pieces. Made from beads. It looked pretty cool, but the photo i took came out too blurry to post.
