This was a well run and excellent show (I overspent as normal!) and I would like to thank the Organisers, Traders, and game runners! I definitely look forward to coming again next year!
Thank you for sharing the best photo report of a wargame show I have seen, this is what keeps the hobby going.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, Bz to that man.
Willz.
Thanks Willz! I do my best! - I know the traders especially appreciate being publicised, a lot of show reports focus on games alone, despite most of us in the UK going to buy more stuff as a primary objective!!!
