It could be a much improved Warfare if people haven't had their usual shopping fix at Colours?

That seems likely, as for me it is usually one or the other and Colours always won.

I imagine I will make Warfare for the 1st time this year - with a pocket full of pretty green, to spend on some war machines...  ;)

Real shame it will not be on - as nice and airy centre and never so busy so you can always have a good chat with the traders and fellow gamers

I found Warfare too crowded and disjointed compared to Colours. Also the demo games were not a patch on Colours, which is my primary reason for going to a show. And then there is the small issue of trying to park there...

This is a real bugger as I was going to finish off my castle, and use Colours as a chance to give a public airing of my medieval rules,  using my Pendraken 100YW armies  >:(

So what other shows have I got as options......July is out as in the US, but what's in SEPT,  OCT, NOV thats doable from Bristol?

Cheers,

The only other largish show in those months would be Derby, up at Donnington Park.  Still a couple of hours drive, but there's a hotel nearby if you wanted to make a weekend of it.
www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 7000 products, including 4500 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints and much, much more!

We stay at the Premier Inn at East Midlands Airport: http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/EASPTI/east-midlands-airport  It's only 5 minutes drive from the show venue.

There's a Holiday Inn over the road as well.

No wonder they had to put the prices up with this level of extravagance  :o :o :o

If only!  I have to share a room with Dave, and it's not a pretty sight!

I tend to book all of the hotels at least 6 months in advance, to try and get the best deals they've got.  Last year the Derby hotel was only £65 for the two of us for two nights, which wasn't bad.

The last time I was at Derby I had a hotel overlooking Pride Park...Quite a few years ago now though
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!
