Hello There! I spent a few hours at the above show. Instead of religiously photographing everything I took my time to enjoy the show and talk to a few gamers.
This first game was one of two AWI games that were on display. The Brompton Bankers were very forthcoming and tried to get my partner involved. They were very approachable and light hearted.
They were using the Osprey AWI rules Rebels and Patriots.
The game was based on a flat battle mat with drop on terrain. While it was a participation game it was a pleasant breath of fresh air to have such an approachable group at a show.
There were some nice painted figures on the table.
Part of the game included a bridge and river in the scenario.
Next was the Yarkshire Gamers display of the Battle of Germanstown. Both the AWI games used 28mm figures. Of particular note was that half of the figures were from a gamer who had passed away and this was a memorial game to him.
Again the figures were well painted.
Here was one corner of the game where some marshes were represented.
Judge Chew's House was well represented here.
There were also a number of small vignettes as well.
Next up was a pulp alley game. This was of particular interest as the club I attend have a project to put on a Roman colosseum game in the near future. They have an arena already.
This also had some spectators and some sun shades as well.
The game from the east Leeds Militaria Society was in a very small scale, but looked very good indeed. It was an amphibious game with what appeared to be 1/1200th ships. It represented the Battle of Hakudate in 1869.
The buildings were well detailed,
As were the ships and harbour.
The fortress of Goryōkaku, headquarters of the rebel army.
This game got my attention as I recently played a 'Cold War Gone Hot' at the club recently
I like the ASDA complete with a tiny car part, like most ASDAs!
Overall a very enjoyable show with plenty of gamers who were very approachable and happy to talk to you.
