Part 2 of my Partizan Pics and we'll carry on from where I left off.

Very British Civil War Forum

A visual feast for the eyes!















I was just about to have a chat with Pete Barfield when I saw George Anderson from Musings on Wargames and Life, I first bumped into George a few years ago at Salute, so it was great meeting up and having a chat again.


Talking of Pete Barfield!


And here's Pete's game with the Leicester Phat Cats -  Baron's Waf








I kept going back to Barry Hilton's game for a chat, but he was always busy.


While I was waiting to speak to Barry and collect a few figures I might add, I had had chat with these 3 fine looking fellows. Aly Morrison from Aly's Toy Soldiers, Ian "Flags of War" McDonald and David O'Brien.


I did finally get to have a chat with Barry and play one of his games, I had my eye on a prize, one of his new ships, from Ark Royal Miniatures I had to beat 51 points, it was close, but I only managed to get to 50, Dammit!
Lucky Alastair, he won the prize.
