The Other Partizan 2018

As you may be aware from my last post, me and Postie took a trip up north last Sunday to our first visit to a Partizan show for well over 20 years!

And we weren't disappointed either!

It was great seeing other clubs games rather than the same ones we see in the South East. and also to meet up with other bloggers and gamers too!!

I bought a book from Helion and Company and a great chat with Charles Singleton as well.

The Rejects will definitely make this show again next year, it was well worth the 2 1/2 hour trip there and back again.

I had another nightmare with the photos on my phone, so many were blurry its ridiculous, but I still managed to get well over 100 decent pics!

My first pics are from Barry Hilton's War of Three Kings Great Northern War game.

Postie and Barry were chatting about their ages. They both agreed Barry is 8 1/2 while Postie

is 7 3/4. So I suppose that makes me around 6?

The next three photos are pinched from The League of Augsberg blog

Mr Hilton was kind enough to loan them to me.

Big mistake, I asked technophobe Postie to take a pic of me and Barry

this was the 19th photo he took!! I'm surprised our heads were in the photo to be honest. 

Barry was showing off some of his new Warfare miniatures. The Miltia/Civillians/Rebels 

to which I made a purchase and the absolutely beautiful Ottomans.......for God's sake Barry

are you trying to bankrupt me!!!

Barry's bestest pal Toggy also 8 1/2 in the centre chatting to customers.

There were a few games where I don't know who or what they were

any help filling in the blanks will be greatly appreciated

This is the first, looks like WWII

A real spectacle of a game, I'm not sure just how many figures were on the table,
there was a lot! Loved Dave's terrain mat too, it had an unexplained 3D look.
Well done chaps!

Some of Dave's million camels can be seen in the background.

wars at a show.

Nottingham Wargames Club - 1/35th WWII
