At last, it seemed it'd never happen. Wargaming shows are back up running again!!!
Posties Rejects will be attending a few shows in the coming months, but we'll only be putting on a game at one. Broadside 2021 run by Milton Hundred Wargaming Club. This year the show's at a new venue, Medway Park Sports Centre, Mill Road, Gillingham, Kent.
Which luckily for us is a lot close than Sittingbourne.
The show is on Saturday, December 4th and starts at 10am.
Reject Richard is hosting our game this year. He's been busy painting up figures and making terrain
for the Battle of Montenotte 12th April 1796, which you may be able to tell was fought during the French Revolutionary Wars, French verses the Austrians.
We've play tested the rules and game, the rules are written by Richard himself and they make for a
great historical game. The French won the practice game, but how will they do on the day???
Hopefully we'll see you there?
Glad the shows are back! Crazy the places that haven't allowed any shows in so long.
ReplyDeleteTell me about it!
DeleteWonderful about the shows being back!
ReplyDeleteThe French Revolution figures look the nuts. Outstanding!
Cheers Mark, I'll pass your comment onto Richard.
DeleteI am truly pleased that you;ll get to attend a show, I a hopefully going to "Battleground" in Novenber too. Well done putting a game on, I know just how tiring it is.
ReplyDeleteIts a good show to put on a game, and you're right it is pretty knackering.
DeleteThere is a good growing excitement about the green shoots of shows starting. I can see them bouncing back stronger and being appreciated even more than they were pre-pandemic, let’s hope so.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Norm. I can't wait!
DeleteNice to have enough certainty back in life that you can plan two months ahead. Definitely something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteIts taken a long time, hope it doesn't go wrong???
DeleteGreat that you’ll be back to the shows Ray! And those figures are splendid!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mike.
DeleteGreat news getting back to a show. Think I'm waiting until York next year
ReplyDeleteNot sure I could wait that long Neil?
DeleteGreat looking figures
ReplyDeleteCheers Sgt!
DeleteWell as it's just down the road from me Ray (I'm in Rochester, not far from you good Rejects!) I do hope to get there and say hello. Become something of a recluse over last 18 months and struggle a bit with crowds and noise but it would do me a lot of good :)
ReplyDeleteWould be good to have a chat in person Lee.
DeleteNice looking figures Ray, I am sure your game will be a big hit as its a very colourful era. Lucky you having shows starting up - we dont really have any here in NZ in the first place, so Covid hasn't really changed anything much for us on that score!
ReplyDeleteOh gawd, no shows? Sounds horrible Keith!
DeleteFab looking game. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon.
DeleteGREAT news sir!
ReplyDeleteGreat news indeed!
DeleteGood news! So there's SELWG (or NELWG, given their new venue?), Salute, and then Broadside all within a few weeks. It's going to be busy!
ReplyDeleteAnd hopefully a lot of fun David!
DeleteI enjoyed the practice game (even though as the Austrians, we were given a drubbin) and am looking to turning the tables when we run the demo in December.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure me and Surj will still win being the Austrians!
DeleteInteresting looking demo game 👍
ReplyDeleteCheers Andy!
DeleteGood on two counts. Excellent to see a Fr Rev era game coming and to read about wargame show and conventions again.
ReplyDeleteI'm like a kid in a sweetshop Ed, I can't wait.
DeleteHave fun! They're closing everything down here again, sadly.
ReplyDeleteOh no. That's not good news Dez.
DeleteGood news about Broadside,looks great too!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain, you never know, you may attend one day?
DeleteBrilliant! I'll look forward to this with added interest as I am on a road to Montenotte, but my painting is a long way behind Richard's (and nowhere near as good!).
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Glad you like the game James, keep that brush going, you'll catch up soon.
