Myself and Postie made it up to Sidcup this morning to visit the second Skirmish Wargames Show of 2016, the first being back in April. There were several games on show.....
Medway Wargames Club - AWI
Herne Bay Wargames - Napoleonic's
Priviteers of London - Arkansas, Atlanta & Albemarle.
Gravesend Gamers Guild - Warhammer
HHGC - Zombicide.....I think?
The Painters
Old Guard - Ancient Ships
Rome v Carthage
Rainham Wargames club - WWII Nijmegen
What's wrong with these figures Clint?
Tonbridge Wargames Club - WWII
These was also a great display of WWII British Para equipment
2 Dodgy reprobates checking out some books....
John Ewing
Bloggers Dave Cook & Bob Cordury
Having a coke and a sarnie.
Col Bill's
And some of the lovely figures he was selling
Not a great pic, but both me and Postie were very tempted with these Gripping Beast
Teutonic Knights!!
Some cool military outfits.
ReplyDeletePriviteers of London - the three names are all American places.
Do the games involving mostly horses move faster?
The 3 American names were the names of the 3 Ironclad ships in there game, I think most Ironclad's were named after American towns??
DeleteFunnily enough there aren't many games involving mostly horse, (that I've played in anyway) The game wouldn't move faster, but the Horses would!
Nice looking stuff, but very large skirmishes
ReplyDeleteSkirmish is the name of the show Martin, most games at this show weren't skirmishes.
DeleteSome cool looking games. Looks like a good show
ReplyDeleteIts not a bad little show Neil, it does help that its only down the road from us, though.
DeleteExcellent looking games and gear!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
It was a fun day!
DeleteThanks for the show pics, Ray! Nice new blog header-photo!
ReplyDeleteSay, what happened your NYW project?
Both the 15mm and 25mm are still ticking over.............just, Jonathan, but I haven't painted a thing for a couple of months, so hopefully I'll be boring you all to tears with more stuff soon.
DeleteI'm amazed by the number of events throughout the year over there - thanks for sharing your pics and observations, Ray!
ReplyDeleteWe are very lucky living where we do, there are so many shows less than an hours drive away.
DeleteGreat photos Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Cyrus.
DeleteGreat photos, Ray. Looks like a fun day for you guys.
ReplyDeleteDid they have anything good to eat there? Or do you have to stop along the way and pick something up?
We both had a rather limp Corned Beef and salad sarnie there, but stopped off at a pub on the way home for a Sunday roast!! Yum!
DeleteYum on the Sunday roast.
DeleteOh yeh!
DeleteLooks like a nice day out Ray, cracking napoleonic game on the go to.
ReplyDeleteYeh, the Nappie game looked pretty cool!
DeleteThe sports game is Guild Ball
ReplyDeleteGreat AAR, looks great!
Ah, thanks......never heard of it, though?
DeleteNice lot of photos. You ask what is wrong with my figures. (Other than the commander!) I will confirm there is nothing wrong with my figures, they are all well painted and based and set up for the PBI rules. So nothing wrong with the figures at all only wrong with me! I forgot 5 different things on the day before getting to the show. For more details I refer you to my blog! (Which I will post a little later today.
ReplyDeleteI will confirm the HHGC is indeed "Guildball" and not "Zombicide". If you want to try Zombicide to learn the difference I will happily put a game on for you. (I am not holding my breathe!)
In Fairness they did encroach on another clubs table and put a display on of Zombicide Black Plague, but never actually played it on the day. So that is worth 1/2 a point. (The other club , I think I know who, did not turn up so the table was spare. And better something on the table than nothing at all.
DeleteI know its against my religion, but I do quite fancy a game of Zombicide???
DeleteLooks like you had a good time
ReplyDeleteIan
We certainly did, Ian!
DeleteI always love your show-reports Ray, the right balance between pictures and comments so thanks heaps!
ReplyDeleteNo probs Sander, glad you enjoyed the post.
DeleteGreat photos and place!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteSome really nice looking games there Ray!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great little show Rodger.
DeleteI like how the London Privateers have used tiles as the river playing surface with the ACW Naval.
ReplyDeleteThough I'm not so struck on the Confederate Battle Flag that Stu seemingly was using as a table cloth - Couldn't they have got something more patriotic? Union Flag. British Army flag. Royal Navy flag - very fitting in Stu's case.
Yeh, have a word with him Roy.
DeleteLooks like a good time!
ReplyDeleteIt was Rod, it was.
DeleteThat looks like a cracking show, just the Para equipment alone would have me enthralled.
ReplyDeleteYeh, it was a great little touch to the show, Sir M.
DeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteNo probs, Jay.
DeleteSome great looking games!
ReplyDeleteCheers Gordon.
DeleteGreat pictures mate, sorry I couldn't meet up with you and Postie. We went to Chatham instead that day...so I guess the wife owes me a favour!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Mrs see's it that way too, Lee?
DeleteGood mix of games there and overall it looks like a cracking show. Love the para display.
ReplyDeleteIt was very enjoyable day!
DeleteGreat post Ray.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul.
DeleteCheers for the pictures I always miss this one twice as it seams, hopefully will get to it one day. Hoping to get to the show in Tonbridge ☺
ReplyDeleteThe next Skirmish is in March I do believe? We're always at Tonbridge, may see you there Stephen?
DeleteCheers for the pictures I always miss this one twice as it seams, hopefully will get to it one day. Hoping to get to the show in Tonbridge ☺
