Only 2 Rejects made the long drive up the A2, to visit the April show at Skirmish, I bought various bits and bobs but I tried not to spend too much, I was hoping to save my pennies for Salute.
Skirmish is now under new management, its now being run by Craig at Redcoat Models, who like most of the traders at the show, sell models rather than wargames figures. But you can always pick up a bargain or two at little local shows like this one, so its well worth a visit!
It sounds like Craig the owner has got big plans for Skirmish, so watch this space!! Here's a link to the Skirmish website.
The next Skirmish show is set for September 18th, this year....I'm trying to get Postie to put on a game there, you never know???
Below are a few pics form the show....
Skirmish Wargaming - WWI Trench Raid
Tonbridge Wargames Club - Austo-Prussian War 1866
Rainham Wargames Club - ACW Naval
There we bumped into fellow Reject Clint & chums!
Clint wasn't happy......as you can plainly see!
Two Fantasy games from Gravesend Gamers Guild
Necron v Space Marines
(Cheers Clint, I didn't have a clue!)
A packed battlefield!
Old Guard Wargames Club - Napoleonic
Medway Wargames Society - Dust Tactics 1947
Not sure what they are...but they're very impressive looking!!!
Crush the Kaiser - Viking Skirmish
A random shot, in the main hall
Herne Bay Wargames Club - Lion Rampant
Milton Hundred Wargames Club - Full Thrust
Painters plying their wares
Bexley Reapers - Mad Max
Beautiful Military artwork by Ray Kirkpatrick
And finally Postie having a chat and parting with a huge wad of cash with Col Bill
Some nice looking games on show there. Like Postie's trench system...is there any terrain he hasn't got?
ReplyDeleteThat's not Posties terrain, I'm afraid.
DeleteThat trench system is much to large for ones pocket then Ray?BB

DeleteSWEET! Great models and gaming.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Jay!
DeleteSome cool figures.
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take to set up a board like that first one? It's really elaborate.
I'd hate to think, just how long that took to make, it was superb!
DeletePity I missed the show but I'll be at Salute on the 16th......and when isn't Poistie parting with large amounts of cash at Col Bills?!? So long as we benefit from Stuarts inexhaustible resources far be it for us to complain.
ReplyDeleteWell you will book up hollbobs when there are shows to go to won't you?? At least you're not missing Salute again though.
DeleteClint never looks happy especially when he sees you!
ReplyDeleteThat's what he said?
DeleteThank you Fran.
DeleteNice looking games :)
ReplyDeleteProbably wise to save the pennies for Salute - the Essex lads are counting on you to cover the cost of their stall ;)
Not much Essex planned for Salute this year.......i've already bought it all!!!!
DeleteGood looking games
ReplyDeleteCheers Neil.
DeleteFantastic pictures...the WW1 table is amazing!

DeleteNow that guy in the Rainham club looks very handsome I think there should be more pictures of him, very distinguished! Very talented and extremely trustworthy, you can just tell by his face and demeanour.

DeleteNice show, Ray! The trench raiding game looked to a fun setup! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was the best looking game that's for sure. Apparently according to Clint, the chap who made it works in the design dept at the BBC???
DeleteThanks for sharing Ray.
ReplyDeleteNo probs Pat!
DeleteAnother day well spent! I heard you get about 50+ of these events a year...lucky!
