Great stuff! Like the church windows, too! I recently bought some Total Battle Miniatures buildings including the church illustrated. I still have my 6mm buildings left over from my long ago sold 6mm collections and having painted a 'saintly image' on the main window of my 6mm church, wondered if I should try some similar artistry on my new 10mm church. But having seen the one above, I think I may give it a miss now - great job but looks too hard for my skill level!

Splendid! Like the basing. The buildings are very well done and a sprinkling of civilians, nice!

Magnificent stuff.   Really looks the part.   I particularly like the Spanish (?)
battalions in the final picture.

As said above, really good to see such a great collection on show.

They were on Turn 4 when I spent time there and that was into the afternoon so I'm guessing they didn't!

Cracking good game!  :-bd =D> :-bd =D>

Though I did think, at one point, you were set in for the night, playing on when everyone else had gone home   ;)

I was the ginger-haired chap working Col. Bill's next to your game

Shame it wasn't a two day event with overnight access; no sleep and playing through would achieve somewhat realistic command fatigue :D

Cheers for the comments guys. I think we managed about 7 turns in the end. We got destracted chatting to everyone and buying swag! 😉

We didn't think we would finish the game, it was more about a showing off how great a scale 10mm is and having a  weekend away.

Coming from the midlands we stopped at Caliver books on the way, then onto Towton for a battlefield walk before setting up on the Friday evening followed by a few 🍻 and  a good feed at the Premier inn. Saturday at the show then back to the premier inn for a few more 🍻 and another hearty feast. Sunday stopped of at marston Moor and walked the battlefield before heading home.

All in all a fab weekend 😁

I have to say the standard of games on show were fantastic and a cross lots of scales.

Having been to a lot shows over the last few years I genuinely think the standard of games at the smaller shows are often higher than at the more flagship events

Thanks for coming along and bringing such a great looking game, I'm glad you all enjoyed it.  If you're staying over both nights next year, we'll have to organise a visit to Pendraken HQ for you.
