Due to LAG and the puter playing silly what nots I was unable to post this yesterday. But tody (Tuesday) try again. As always the games are a mixed bag. Some being show games through and trough while others are club games. Personally I like normal club games as I wonder after the show (or series of shows) is any of it ever used again. Which is both sad and a waste.

 |
| North London Wargames Group 15mm Crug Mawr 1136 |
 |
| Crawley Wargames Club The Siege of Girona 1796 (15mm) And I agree a very nice "Fort" |
 |
| Gravesend Gamers Guild WW2 tank battle 15mm Clearly a club game and no worse for that |
 |
| 6mm (or 1/300th)Siege of Malta Southend wargames club. Firstly love the cloth, taken from a modern airiel photo and altered with all the modern buildings taken out. |
 |
| 28mm Zombie game byHailsham Wargames Club I still like a good zombie game but fear they are getting a little rare these days |
 |
| Society of Ancients (No not my school reunion) To be honest they look good but I tend to loose interest as one game the SOA puts on looks like the next Still if they enjoy them that's good enough |
 |
| 28mm Mexican Revolution I think The reason I "Think" is that the club put on a nice game but no info at all was on display. |
 |
| Deal Wargames. 1937 China Battle of Yangmigbao 1937 |
 |
| As above, but you so rarely see Japanese Armoured cars it is worth a separate photo. Al 20mm I think |
 |
| The Lights were on but no one was home. 28mm ww2 Tanks I think. Clearly a club game and no worse for that just not as visual as some of the others |
 |
| Maidstone wargames society 28mm ww1 ZeeBrugge raid |
 |
| Yes it looks very nice and will do several shows, but after that what will happen to it? I have no idea but I do not see it being used very much Despite my reservations I still think it was best looking game of the show and it will be a waste if never used again after this year |
 |
| 10th century Chinese naval game by Friday Night Firefight Club All the ships were hand made and it looks great a Very different game in 28mm |
Well that is a round up of the games. (1 game missing). Quite a variety and some games if you do not see them this year you will ever see again. But maybe seeing them once is enough to give inspiration. That is up to each individual to decide.
Thanks for looking. Probably ECW figs tomorrow as I try to catch up.
All the best Clint in snowy Kent
Looks like it was a bounty for the eyes. Hmm zombie games are getting few and far between but there has been no recent big hit movies to push the interest of late. I am looking forward to the Post Apocalypse Boxed set coming from Crooked Dice it expands on the original Zombie tv so looking forward to that coming end of Summer hopefully in time for Zomtober :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. yes more Crooked goodness would be good and post Apoc I know you really enjoy.
DeleteWow, I'd have loved to have seen that WW2 siege of Malta game in person.
ReplyDeleteThank you Roy. The siege be at several shows. The guys are going to advance the date each time with slightly improved aircraft just as happened in WW2 until eventually Spitfires arrive!
Deletewow what a great array of different games on show, thank's for sharing them with us Clint
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave. I do find going to shows an inspiration as it clearly shows different types and styles of games.
DeleteWell I happen to like zombie games! Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteSome good eye candy there buddy
Thank you Andy, I think every good show needs a zombie game. I am just observing that they are not as common as they once were. (which is a shame)
DeleteI do like seeing some 'typical' club games at a show as well as the obviously 'dedicated' show game and there seems to have been just the right mix at this show,
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. I agree there does need to be a mix of types of games, club and show. however club games do tend not to get a look in so much as they are not flashy and eye catching.
DeleteAn eclectic mix of games, as I would expect. The game I'd have been most interested in would, of course, have been the zombie game. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. The zombie game did look good and has got me wanting to do more zombies.
