This is a nice medium-sized show, plenty of traders and plenty of games to look at.
One of the participation games will be a Franco-Prussian one using Pendraken figures and "Bloody Big BATTLES!" rules.

Hope to pootle along to it this year.
Well we did it. Our Franco-Prussian War participation game of St Quentin at Overlord actually involved real participants. :) And Dave's specially-painted Pendraken Franco-Prussian armies were admired and complimented for enabling us to lay on a battle that looked like a battle. Brief report with a couple of pics here (no close-ups, sorry):

Fancy bringing it to Campaign in Milton Keynes in May? ;)
That battlefield is awesome. :-bd
Thanks, gents, you've very kind.
Campaign in MK? Hadn't really considered it, I thought it was really just a tournament event. Am I wrong? What's the format, and how would we go about arranging a participation game there? I know for sure I can't make it myself, but other members of the team may be interested.

It does have tournaments but we also have more and more demo and participation, which is really important to us.
It's in the Middleton Hall, outside John Lewis, it's a free public event. The aim is to publicise the hobby to the general public.
I believe there is a nominal charge (no more than £10), or it may be free for demo and participation.
Email: neil@sutherland7.freeserve.co.uk is our noble chairman. Tell him Will Denham sent you. ;)
Cheers, Will. I'll talk to the boys, and then get in touch with Neil if they're keen.
