TACTICA 2020

Greetings...


I Have just realized that I haven't posted any photo's from this years trip to Tactica...
As always it was a splendid show with lots of great games... covering everything from the Prehistoric World through to High Fantasy, Star Wars and Warhammer...


The main theme for this year was Seiges


Here are a few games that caught my eye...



A star Wars Game... Red Two Down... By THS




Dyppol 1864...By Bruce Weigle and Friends...



More Star Wars... By Martin Schneider and Friends.


 



Frank Becker's Fort William Henry...






 The Siege of Tire... from Cryns Miniatures.



The Siege of Antioch... by Rusus.



The Siege of Acre... by Table Top Nerdz Mainz... not the best picture I'm afraid...


The Siege of Orleans... by Frank Bauer.







The Wall... Game of Thrones... by Frank Becker and Friends.




The Bataver Insurrection... by Team Wurfelkrieg.





More Fort William Henry... Mostly because I joined in a game .... and didn't loose horribly.







A beautiful WW1 Air War game ... by Svend Ask Larsen and Friends.


There were many more games than the ones I managed to photograph ...


More can be found here...

  2. Excellent show photos, Aly!

    Weigle's lanscapes are immediately identifiable and the Forth William Henry model is superb.

  5. One fantasy game is one too many for my tastes, but at least the historical games seem to be proper wargames and not these never ending games in a box for the Goldfish Gamers!
