Partizan May 2024 - The Rejects on tour.

 


Oh my, what can I say about Partizan???
If your'e a historical gamer then Partizan is the place to visit. There were so many superb looking games on show, everywhere you looked. Please if you haven't been before, you just gotta go.


Only 4 Rejects made the looong trip up north, (for us anyway)
Postie, Steve, Lee and myself.

I've tried to knock off some off the photos I took on the day, but this is still a very long post, so take your time and let me know what you think?

  1. It was a cracking show Ray, and your photos are a great reminder of how good it was. This was only the 2nd Partizan that I have been to. I spent much of the day there, and I'm convinced I still didn't see everything. I thought I saw you in the distance (and now it seems I was correct!). I shall make a point of saying hello next time. Best wishes, Jason (Light Bobs and Paint Blobs Blog).

  4. Impressive and inspiring stuff, Ray! Perfect timing too, as I'm headed out to our big annual convention (nowhere near as large as Partizan, of course), this Friday. Hosting a couple of RJW games using TMWWBK. Hope to post pics from there. Cheers!
