Good to see everyone yesterday, we had a good show and the weather was quite nice as well!  We've got a few weeks off now before we're over in St Helens for Phalanx, so time to get some releases sorted out!

Footage of Saturday's show beginning to appear on the web now. Here is Tabletop Timelapse's short video of the Port Republic display (the chap I was talking to turns up at 1.25 - familiar face to anyone?).

Yup, very nicely put together.  The buildings especially look lived in.

Thanks again, Westie. That is one of the best tables I have seen, beautifully done. As it happens I'll be passing near Port Republic tomorrow.

All I can see is a big white space.   

Leman, try clicking the YouTube link beside the vid.

I think my flash drive may need updating.

I see nothing but a line of text.

Is there a link to this?

Your welcome, Bill. Don't blink when you're passing Port Republic (as you probably know, the actual 'town' is tiny). 

@ JimDuncan - link as requested.

Many thanks Westie.

Strange how I could access the video via the link, but no videos come up on the form anymore.

Yup, a wide place in the road as we say. We ended up taking a more southerly route to follow the old Parkersburg - Staunton Tpk. Did pass through MacDowell which is not much bigger,  but larger battle (I think).

Gentlemen,

So sorry to reply so late but a weekend in Scotland consumed most of my time and after that it was immediately back to work...

It was very nice to see a UK show again and the number of people attending. Also te difference in scales on offer and games being played was good to see. if only we had those in the Netherlands... Here the average showmainly consists of 28mm (some 15mm) stuff on offer and then a much higher proportion of it being fantasy related. This is also reflected in the games being played; a lot of fantasy, science fiction etc. with a relatively smaller number of historical games being played. And that is including the popular ones like Flames of War and Bolt Action. It is the main reason I don't visit many shows on the continent.

Meeting Leon and Dave and of course Westie was really enjoyable. All very friendly and helpfull people and of course the socializing side is another one of the good parts of visiting shows. Feeling at home in a foreign country is made so much easier if you meet some familiar faces or even some new ones. Thanks for that chaps! (It also helps to show my wife that I do know some more or less normal people!  )

In all it was a really enjoyable weekend and one worth repeating. Maybe I'll get back to Falkirk next year...

On the down side; one of our dogs 'helped unpack' some of the new 10mm figures yesterday resulting in an ACW wagoneer going AWOL and damaging one building... 

Cheers,
Rob

Videos have started coming up again, and I have done nothing (neither am I from Barcelona!).

Yes Paul; in my life wargamers count as more or less normal people... you can just imagine the rest I guess!

Cheers,
