The Rejects made our annual pilgrimage to Crystal Place yesterday for SELWG 2016.
Its usually our last show of the year, I did fancy going to Warfare in Reading next
month as well, but I don't think the wallet will allow it, after I spent a tad
more than I expected at SELWG!
Oh well never mind!
I met up with loads of fellow Bloggers
Clint, Tamsin, Dave, Simon, Mike and Rodger? I think sorry but I can't
remember your blog name?

ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the pics Jonathan!
DeleteGreat photos Ray!

DeleteThanks for the pics Ray! Raphia looks great, nothing like pikes and ellies to grab attention on a big table!
ReplyDeleteIt was very impressive!
DeleteNice pictures! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteNo probs Rod!
DeleteStunning photographs Ray, I really must try and get up to this one year.
ReplyDeleteYou should try Sir M, its a great show!
DeleteNice pics Ray (that sounds like everyone) Ruined by the inclusion of me.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good day a pleasure to meet all the Rejects again...(yes even Postie)
What? Even Postie??
DeleteCool looking games going on there mate.
ReplyDeleteThat Chain of Command board looks mint! cheers
Yeh, that was a great looking game.
DeleteCool, glad to see these wonderful tables, and glad to see FPW-1866 played, as well as the Mexican revolution, rarely seen in France!
ReplyDeleteI do love to see unusual games at shows.
DeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteTa!
Delete"Is that you?"
ReplyDeleteEven though I definitely wasn't there, I have had a look at the photos, and can categorically say. No, it isn't.
Hope that helps :)

Deletewhat a beautiful hike. Nice scenery, some awesome tables.
ReplyDeleteI hope you come back with somme beautiful purchases.
I did, Stephane, more on that in a later post.
DeleteGreat pictures mate...and that wasn't a worried look on my face...honest.
ReplyDeleteI was a little surprised that my troops held their own in the centre. Every time my opponent launched an attack he failed to hit my troops but I was able to retaliate with a success. The only thing keeping the centre in stalemate was the quality of his troops which meant they kept rallying from disorder negating my success in melee.
Luck of the dice eh? Or should I say cards!!
DeleteTerrific eye-candy, Ray. What a great selection of photos. Thanks so much for taking them, and blogging them!
ReplyDeleteNo probs, glad you enjoyed them.
DeleteFantastic post Ray and so many wonderful photographs. The Battle of Raphia was my favourite as well as great to see the shot if Simon with the youngsters at the table. Always love to see young gamers playing historicals and TTS is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt was a mouthwatering game to look at, and it was great to see the kids getting involved, Lee said they were having their own private battle, bet their Dads were having a nice and peaceful look around at the show.
DeleteGreat post Ray. Nice pic's as well.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul.
DeleteGreat pics - thanks for sharing Ray!
ReplyDeleteNo probs Paul.
DeleteLovely photos. I really must get myself over to the UK for one of these shows, to represent the Rejects Canada chapter.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the elephants, though the howdah on the right in that piccie looks like a red and white teddy bear face with a gold moustache.
Yes you do need to come over for a show and you may even be able to squeeze in a game at Reject HQ too!
DeleteAwesome pics it looks a great show certainly has good lighting.
ReplyDeleteYeh, its very bright!
DeleteNot entirely sure how we managed not to bump into one another this year - have you been honing your ninja skills? Nice pics BTW!
ReplyDeleteI did see you in the distance, then I turned around to say something to Postie, looked round and you had gone!?!
DeleteGreat collection of photos!
