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.

Well that's it!
Its taken me nearly as long to do these two posts on the game as it took on the day out,
I need a beer!
I'll say one thing, Ray - you take great pics of the games! Now, go and have a well earned beer! :)
ReplyDeleteI did just that Tamsin.
DeleteThat's another great spread of pics and games Ray....I think if I had to choose the 1857 Indian game would take first prize....but only just!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fantastic set up, there was so much to look at everywhere on the table and it was so colourful.
DeleteMore amazing pictures. Sounds like a great day out with good friends and incredible games.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was Mark.
DeleteMore great looking games
ReplyDeleteIt was a great show Neil.
DeleteLooks like it was a fantastic show, Ray, and nice that you got to meet up with so many people. After the last couple of years, I bet that was more than usually satisfying.
ReplyDeleteIt was Markus, I did more talking than usual, meeting old and new friends.
DeleteThe Old West, India, WWII...quite the variety!
ReplyDeleteThere was a very mixed bag of scales and periods Alex.
DeleteBest collection of show pictures I have seen in ages. Well done lad.

DeleteI was told my missus had been seen at Partizan and I scoffed. I was spooked when I saw our picture and a woman in the background, I almost believed it. Great pics Ray.
ReplyDeleteWas she spying on you George incase you spent more than that fiver?
DeleteIt looks like a great convention and lots of cool games being played. Thanks for sharing this.
