Britcon

Rather delayed posting on our most recent outing; a family holiday immediately following attending on the Saturday meant there was little opportunity to access the computer.  Britcon is primarily a show for competition gamers and the trade.  There were only three demo/participation games on offer this year and I think that if that side were developed, (assuming that space and games were available), visitor numbers may increase.  Entrance costs are not an issue as at present entry to the show is free.

Steve and I ran our Stamford Bridge game for the Lance & Longbow Society and induced one passer by to 'have a go'.  Although new to the period he did pick up the rules quickly and seemed to enjoy the game.  During the day we ran the game three times, with the Nevilles winning each time.  However, in one game Will did make them work for their victory, managing to keep the Raby contingent off the table with some fortunate dice rolling.

Here are a few pictures of our game and the Mailed Fist WWII game next to us.

Many thanks to Andy, Dave, John, Steve and Will for their help with the game.
