If you're close to Gillingham tomorrow come on over to Broadside Games Show at Medway Park Sports Centre.

Posties Rejects are there along with loads of other clubs and even more traders.

Reject BigLee has painted all the figures and terrain for us this year, we're putting on a fictional French Foreign Legion game set in 1901 called the Battle of Beau Hunks.


There are two specials guest stars in the game, see above, so come along and say hello!

You can find us on Table C3, in the big red circle.

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.
