Today I popped along to the
Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society's Cavalier show. It's not a big show but does attract some well known names in traders and usually has some nice games to see.
Obviously my first call had to be on the
Maidstone Wargames Society's new show game -
Somewhere in Belgium 1914:
I then had a wander around the rest of the show. Here are a couple of the other games that caught my eye:
 |
| Battle of Fraustadt 1706 - Crawley Wargames Club |
 |
| Tabletop Teasers on Tour 1709 - SEEMS |
 |
| Sunset Over Shimushu 1945 - Deal Wargames Society |
 |
| Field of Glory 1813 - Southend Wargames Club |
 |
| Battle of Cape St. Vincent - Tonbidge Wargames Club |
I also bumped into a few of the "usual suspects":
In between I managed some shopping - here's the haul:
As you can see I have started amassing the figures I need for my new 15mm Wars of the Roses project but I also picked up some 28mm French & Indian Wars figures from Redoubt and a 4Ground building from Colonel Bill's. Along with a useful 4Ground cart I picked up two new sets of rules (although one of them isn't so new, having been published in 1994!) - Sepoy for my Indian Mutiny project and Donnybrook - for which I entirely blame Ray! I suspect Donnybrook may lead to some re-prioritising of projects for this year...
Some great looking games and a nice little haul you've got there
ReplyDeleteThere were indeed and I am rather pleased with my purchases! Thanks Neil.
DeleteWho's that handsome chap in the 2nd to last pic???? Just 1 more word is needed......................Donnybrook!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat? The chap in the hat on the left? :-)
DeleteI'm still blaming you!!
I'm suprised your camera was still working after taking that picture...
DeleteNo more than I was! (Only kidding Ray!)
DeleteYou seem to have forgot I too have an dodgy piccy!!! he he!
DeleteSo I see ... revenge eh?
DeleteLooks like an interesting show; you can't go wrong with a little Peter Pig, either ;)
ReplyDeleteIt was Monty - so true, so true!
DeleteDrat, I always forget about this show. Great to hear that you had a good time and an impressive haul to boot.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly worth a visit Michael. I always try to support the local shows and it helps that I can get to Tonbridge by train for nothing!
DeleteLooks like you had fun at the show, nice haul
ReplyDeleteIan
I did indeed - now I just need to do something with all the stuff I bought!
DeleteIt was a good show yesterday. I came home with a nice collection of goodies but didn't actually spend a lot for a change (mostly 6mm stuff and some terrain).
ReplyDeleteSorry not to have caught up - maybe at Salute? You'll need to try harder next time! :-)
DeleteNice looking show and an impressive haul of lead loot.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good little show and I pretty happy with my purchases - just need to make sure they don't end up in one of my boxes for an indeterminate period of time!
