What a curious day. Normally I go to shows with a close friend, but he is no longer with us. So I hopped in the car anyway and scootled to Newark.
I got there at lunchtime and it was warm and inviting and busy.
These are the things that caught my eye:
Ian Smith's amazing 40mm - I was amazed the first time I saw these at the Other Partizan before the plague, and I'm still amazed! (Ok I'm repeating myself). This was called "Sharpe and Hornblower in Spain 1809""a full display to honour Ian.
Carlist Wars:
I was totally absorbed in the Carlist War game from Westbury Wargamers. The Battle of Arquijas was beautiful to behold. Thanks for the lovely conversation, your patience with headswaps and pinning and all that glorious colour!
The Random bits that make a table:
Not so Easy Company caught my eye for their table clutter. In fact I think I noticed more not military stuff on sale, partly through the mdf laser cut and also 3d printing people, which makes fleshing out the table easier than ever.
What else? Small things:
Who brought these amazing 6mm blocks - a Successors game? (Update - they are from Sheffield and Rotherm club https://www.facebook.com/groups/597968686964595/ ) Were they part of the baccus display? I've always also loved Adler minis.
And these tiny paper/plastic figures just work! Why wouldn't we? I think these were 10mm Napoleonics from https://peterspaperboys.com/ - they looked wonderful.
Hougmont in 28mm -
What a wonderful set up from Like a Stonewall. Huge table but also helped me undertsna dthe tactical problems the French had in such cluttered ground:.
The Perry's do late 19th Century:
28mm WW2 Kits:
I've been here before and probably won't go again, but the quality of kist for 28mm WW2 gamers is extraordinary. These from Rubicon really caught my eye.
And Finally some twinkling red pyrotechnics in this ACW game - worth therextra effort. Thanks Grimsby Wargames Club - Vicksburg 1863. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1416022955204847/

Thank you for the kind comment over our game. Glad you enjoyed your day and that we played a small role in that. From the Grimsby Wargames Society.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing game - thank you.
DeletePlease note, although I am a follower, you are not showing up on my blog page. I have to go into settings / reader to find you, so your posts will not be immediately obvious to followers unless they also check READER, which is unlikely.
ReplyDeleteI don't properly know the reason for this, but I notice that in my reader list, those URL's that fail to get onto the from blog page under blog listings also do not have the text 'com/feeds/posts/default' after their basic URL.
From what I can make out, at your end you need to go into settings, look up SITE FEED, click and allow FULL. I am assuming once done, it allows the google 'media' software to kick in and drag your newest post across to the blog widget displayed on most blogs front page.
i may be wrong, but either way, you are not currently reaching your follows except by READER under the settings tab and I doubt many bloggers go there. Hope this helps. Norm.
I have found the problem is at my end, but it is not just me, many of us might fall foul of not getting reader lists updated fully. I have my solution (thanks Ben) and have put a small post up to discuss the problem / solution, so that nobody is getting caught out. LINK
