Thanks Norm. Unlike Gareth you had some consideration for the rest of us and took some pics 😉

Would have taken some photos but I don't like you

Great review Norm.

[Steve J]

Good review and agree with your comments. I forgot my camera at home so good to see that someone remembered .

[Ithoriel]

You will have at least 3 vehicles you cant use, and paid far too much. H&R and Scotia are just as good.

Probably right on the first couple of points.

However I disagree about the others being "just as good." I'd rate GHQ vehicles as being far better than the others but would say H&R infantry are far better than GHQ. Adler infantry look weird close up but look brilliant once painted and on the tabletop (IMHO) but seem too large next to GHQ vehicles for my taste.

No, pretty happy with the selection actually.  I want to limit the "BIG" stuff and use more of the lighter vehicles.

Just wanted a group to start building from.

Probably been out of focus anyway

Yeah, I rather over egged the pudding in numbers! Still, two turns later and the field was a lot clearer... That's what combined firepower and a few good old fashioned decapatation shots will do for you

Show seemed well attended, and no one packing up till four-ish was nice - looks like trade was good and the games fun?

Sadly nothing shifted in the B&B - anyone need desert hills, sand dunes or a greaco-elf temple do they?!

Didn't get much chance to wander round, except at 900mph, but did get a chance euro say hello to a few people which is good!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

What are the hills like?

I had a enjoyable time at WMMS

I didn't get to meet Nathan

I did get to meet Matt of Munslow and was delighted to hold his exquisite Kublai Khan

Dang, I missed both you and Matt & his amazing elephant! By the time I got chance to wander it was packing up time... I did recognise your game on Norms photo report though - did it go well?

I'd say they do it justice; the DZC game board was something else

[Roy]

I have to say that that looks to be an excellent show.

[toxicpixie]

It was!

I might demo an invisible man game next year an actually get a proper look round

Really nice to see punters still in and games and traders only jut starting to pack up at 4pm as it shut, as opposed to the "empty at 3pm" when it's not so good...

[Ithoriel]

Magister Militum have some great shots of the show on thier Facebook page:

When I lived in Brum I went to this show a couple of times after it moved from Alumwell School. I quite liked it -was a good size with lots to see and ogle at and a good selection of traders.

That Scifi cityscape looks the mutts.
