Greetings…
I had a splendid day today at Partizan…
As always this is a fantastic show filled with beautiful games and lovely people…
I got a nice early lift and we arrived to join the end of a moderate sized queue… It was nice and lively when we got inside.
We headed off in our various directions to shop and look at all the lovely games…
As is always with this show I can barely walk ten feet without bumping into someone I know… this is one of the things I love about Partizan… it attracts fellow gamers from all over the country and it is a joy to catch up with everyone face to face…
The games were no disappointment…
Here are a few that caught my attention…
Mark’s Little Soldiers…
Well of course this ticks all the boxes for me… well designed and charmingly characterful figures as you would expected from the talented hands of Mark Copplestone and a lovely stylistic game…
Yup! You can probably tell that I like this…
Some crazy Zombie action from Burton and District Wargames… walking dead good.😳
The Battle - December 1862 from The Bayonets…
Or… Civil war action from the Double Daves (Andrews and Imirie ).
Mega Napoleonics from Wargames Holidays in Yorkshire…
The Battle of Ipsus from To The Strongest… lots and lots of pointy sticks.
A very lush looking American Civil War game from 1st Corps…
More nice Napoleonics from the Sheffield and Rotherham Wargames Club…
Operation Barbarossa from The Derby Wargames Club…
English Civill War action from The Iron Brigade… ECW/Pike and Shotte has never been one of my favourites… but I am finding that my butterfly is starting to warm to it of late.
Lovely WW2 action from Retired Wargamers Reloaded…
Yet more Napoleonics… This time from The Old Guard…
Catch The Pigeon… From Huntingdon and District Wargames Society… What’s not to like.
And back to more shots from Marks lovely game…
Mark also had a few test/experimental figures from different periods…
Well what can I say… count me in 😁…
The vignette that caught my eye this year was this beautiful riverside well from the Boondock Sayntes…
A mixture of vignette and terrain… very nice indeed.
So what did the butterfly get up to?…
Flags of War… War of Austrian Succession…
I’ve been picking up some of these at every show they attend… My intention is to keep them as a retirement project… but you never know…
Yup! A box load of Marks Little Soldiers some Interwar Armoured Cars and a Tractor…
That was always going to happen 😂🤣😂… I won’t be diving into this right away… but the diving will be happening.
The butterfly made me do it…
British and French Early Ironclads from Tumbling Dice Miniatures 😳
A present from my friend Phil…
He had to many 3rd Century Romans…
Thank you very much…
Some very necessary books…
And the reason my bag was so heavy…
Thank you Master O’Brien…
It is delicious…😋.
All the best. Aly
