Pendraken is going on tour on Saturday 6th November, when we head over to Antwerp, Belgium for the Crisis Wargames Show. This is the first year we'll be attending this one, and we are really looking forward to it. Please make sure to get your pre-orders in before Saturday 30th October, as we'll be leaving on the Thursday to catch the ferry!
For more info on the show: http://www.tsoa.be/html/crisis10_titelblad.htm (http://www.tsoa.be/html/crisis10_titelblad.htm)
A small delegation from the remotest part of the Netherlands will be attending this year as well, including myself! Urrah!
Which leaves with with a bit of a problem. In all probability I'll only want some extra bits and bobs to flesh out the armies I have now. Though all the Dungeon goodness ( :d NIK) has got me tempted as well, but I digress. On the one hand I always like to look at figures before I buy. On the other hand there would be a bit of a disappointment if the figures I wanted were not available. And I know you do your best to get pictures taken on request and all. But the main point (for me anyway) of going to this event is to be able to see everything up front. And we´re only talking about a few bits and bobs, not complete armies.
So, what are stock levels like, generally? I understand you have a huge number of ranges, and can´t possibly have everything in large numbers. But a pack of this, and a pack of that, would that pose a problem? Do you have everything on show, so I can order later, if stock has run out? My main interest right now is WW2 (American, German and Russian). But many of the new Marines and the SCW figures also look like they could be very useful.
You wait until you see the Dungeon up close & personal...you'll definitely want one ;)
Will pre-order once I know what to get, looking forward to see you guys.
I intend to start with WW2, at the outset I'm just gonna buy some US and German battlepacks, do I need to order these especially? Will you be bringing the ruined buildings, I'd like a look before buying those.

For the Historical stuff, we bring all of the £20 Army Packs listed in the ranges, along with the 1000pt Armies for WM Ancients/Medievals. We'll also have the flags with us.
For WWI/SCW/Vietnam we have the Army Packs and a selection of vehicles.
For WWII, again we have the Army Packs, some of the BKC packs and a large selection of the vehicles, packaged 3 to a pack. We also have the decals.
Fantasy - just the Army Packs and the Dungeons.
We'll have most of the Resin Scenics with us as well, including the damaged/ruined houses.
So, any of the smaller packs would need to be pre-ordered if you definitely want them. If you just want to look at a certain figure, we can usually find it within one of the Army Packs to show you. We will also take orders at the show to post out when we get back.
Hope all that makes sense!
Leon, thanks for the info, it certainly makes sense. I'll make up my mind about what I really want. Expect an email sometime soon.
So do I pre-order by just sending an order? or via mail?

Either way is fine, you can go through the website using the basket, but don't go to the payment stage, or you can just email us the order.

We're setting off at 10am and meeting the guys from Baccus in Sheffield, before going down to Harwich for the Thurs night ferry. The trip to the venue looks fairly easy, and the hotel is right over the road! We'll see you there, and Dave can buy you a drink on the Saturday night!

Yes have stayed in the Docks a couple of times we have opted for the Holiday Inn this year I believe we will be meeting Damian and Julie of Donnington at the hotel in Folkestone and then Ian and Leslie from leslies bits box along with Gary and Dorris of Sgs mess for the Train. Hopefully Damian gets to the hotel in Folkestone a little earlier than last year I seem to remember 2am was the arrival time.
See You Friday

Will do mate!
I'll be there, with some mates. Just checked, and it's a mere 310 km from Groningen, so no worries there.
2 Days to go before we start our 1 3/4 km walk over to the Crisis Hall! :D Looking forward to seeing you guys at the booth!
And here you are at Crisis

How was the show for you trade-wise? (In other words, will you be there again next year ;) )
Who's who in the photo?
Leon is the one standing up doing all the work, Dave is the supervisor ;).

Damn it! All this time I've remained happily anonymous, and then someone ambushes me with a camera! I had no idea that was taken. Who is this Joe Dever, I must find him...! :-[ :P

We had a great time, definitely coming again next year. I think we might go for a bigger stand though next time, it was a little cramped in there.
Excellent!
Here's another pic of the dainty duo :D

Pics of that please!
Dave says he only had 2 of the cherry beers on the Saturday night, he was warned that too many could have consequences!
Ok if I remember I may bring along a box to Warefare the Cherry beer is potent but it is also very nice right back to making bases me thinks (70 infantry ones to do this morning and a pile of armour ones as well) Hope all is well up your end of the country the wind has been quite strong down here could not even use my green house for spraying yesterday!!
