Reasons to go to Wargame shows??


3 or is it 6??? reasons why we go to Wargame shows. 

1. Is for to pick up that big order from Gripping Beast, that you placed online last week?
2. Is it to compete in a Flames of War tournament? 
3. Is it because you need to see the new releases from your favourite companies?
4. Is it just a day out for the boys? 
5. Is it to get 5 minutes peace from the Mrs and kids?
OR
6. Is it see see the lovely ladies below???

I had to include the last picture, I've blacked out the ladies face, I hope she doesn't see it, whoever she is?
And I'll leave it at that..........




Both the photo's were taken at Salute this year, By Joe Dever.

    Since we don't really have ladies at French conventions (well sometimes but I never see them)I'd say n°4 & 5 (sorry honey)

    Man alive, if you have to go to a wargames show to see women, then you do need to get out much much more Ray.

    Mind you, seeing the odd one or two ladies at the show does make a change from middle aged toy playing chaps.

  26. War Minister Crittumbo18 May 2011 at 14:52

    I likes them too, yes I do!
    The problem with most fine ladies at shows, is usually they are there with somebody...

    It's obvious that those troops in the second photo are being moved to defend a mountain pass - a sound strategy

    The ratio is 1 women to 1429 men, give or take.

    I did on several occasions see a very nice looking Thai lady at a number of shows in the North of England (with her partner/boyfriend) and of course there are sometimes some RPG re-enactors in costumes that might scare off some of the geekier gamers. I've taken my wife who paints to shows but stopped that once the "look how much those are, why do you need more" started - much easier to sneak them in from the car and say you had them for years or that you got them on the bring and buy

      Lol! That's why I never take my Mrs, easier to hid your goodies then get them out later, when she's not looking. Just like she does with all them clothes and shoe's!!!

    I remember those girls at Partizan years ago, standing near the Fire Exit. I thought it was the local lapdancing club touting for trade!! I don't recall seeing any promotional stuff about a RPG, apart from those flyers they were clutching, but not handing out.I know I had to go back a couple of times as I'd forgotten to look at certain games and stands in the Rotunda.;-)) Thats my excuse anyway.

    Great post, pics and feedback! I now have my laughs for the day.

    It's great to see women at gaming events. We have one member in our club who is a lad of 19 and he brings his girlfriend to the games to share a command. I couldn't help but notice that with her there, we have twice as many "visitors" to our table as normal. I wonder why?

    How the hell could you concentrate on the game with that lovely lady sitting across from you, I would claim a foul; actually 2 of them.

    The Knockers on the table is why you never use foam board terrain at cons...unless your needing some valleys really quick...)
