Warfare Wargames Show 2025

 

Four Rejects braved the cold and drove south to Farnborough for our annual trip to Warfare. This is the third year on the trot that we've got to Warfare and I can't see why we wont be back again for the next few years either. Its a lot smaller than some shows we go to but still packs that punch you wanna get from a show. 

First stop was the Bring & Buy.

I was tempted several times but held fast, Warfare has the best Bring & Buy of the shows we go to, sure there's some toot, but there's also loads of reasonably priced goodies, unfortunately none of which I wanted.

Rant Time

I've taken my usual glut of photos of the games on show, some will have labels some won't (ggrr)!!

I'm gonna moan now, if you are bothering to go to a show to show off your figures and play a game, at least do us a favour and have a piece of paper saying who you are and what you're playing, and a little interaction would be nice too, I don't want a 2 hour talk about your game, just a little bit of info, so I can add it here for others not fortunate enough to attend the show. No names mentioned but at several tables I was glared at for having the gall to take some photos and interrupt the running their busy game, their photos of their game have not been included in this report.

Have a little thought please, that's all I'm asking, myself and BigLee have said this I don't know how many times????
