Partizan - 22nd May - Newark.

[Roy]

Partizan. Newark. Sunday. 22nd May.

Will there be anybody else from this forum going?

I'm going. And  so is my club the Grimsby Wargames Society

Take care

I'll keep an eye out for you Andy.

Though it has to be said that once I enter a show the crowds just seem to blur as I focus on stalls and not faces

I went. And I didn't spend a thing!

Two wargames shows on the trot, now.

I'd have a word with 'Er Indoors, she may be putting something in your tea.

I even turned down a 'gift horse in the mouth' offer! On grounds that "I've already got some similar and haven't got around to painting them yet, so I'll just not buy any more."

I'm talking about stuff for 60p each that rrp at around £4.  

Er, I must be at a low point in the old enthusiasm for the hobby.

Come to think on it. The last time I was at the Newark show ground I turned down an exclusive and limited figure that was offered to me by a trader, who'd had a personal sculpt made and cast, and was offering the extra cast run pieces to his friends.

Balls. Big Bouncing Footballs!

The show (this forum link)

I have to say that I spent some time looking at the two games put on by the Grimsby Society (that Womble's a member of).
If you ever get to take in the spectacle of the Anglo-Dutch War naval game of theirs, do so.
I spent some time really looking closely at some of those models, and the detailed painting, rigging and pennants is excellent.
The two large 'fleets' coming together is really something to behold.

Can't remember the (land-based) game that they also ran. But that was equally as impressive.
I stood at one end of the long table and looked down the length of it, surveying the linear battle lines of the opposing armies coming together. It really was good.

I have to agree. This was a simply awesome game to look at, with an astonishing degree of attention to detail. But talking to the guys, it is also a practical and fun system to game. A rare combination! I also had a great time playing To the Strongest Romans v Sassanids. And - and you will not believe this - I won!  Roman legionaries eat Sassanid elephants for breakfast - apparently!
