SELWG 2016 - The Pics



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?


 We got there just on time so didn't have a long wait to get in for too long

  10. "Is that you?"

    Even 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 :)

  17. Great pictures mate...and that wasn't a worried look on my face...honest.

    I 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.

  19. Fantastic 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.

    1. It 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.

  22. Lovely photos. I really must get myself over to the UK for one of these shows, to represent the Rejects Canada chapter.
    I 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.
