Fortunately, the weather was not as severe as anticipated for the trip over the Pennines to Pudsey for our final wargames show of 2024. Our game was positioned just by the door in the main hall so we were the first game seen as the visitors entered. Quite a few stopped to ask questions and a few joined in the game. As usual the show was busy in the morning before quietening down later. There was a reasonable mix of traders and I was able to obtain the few items on my shopping list. The majority of games were participation and here are some examples.
First a game based on the film "Hot Fuzz" which was just being re-set for another run.
Then a game set during the Battle of Britain
and one based on I think "Space Cadets" with some insects you would rather not meet!
In the upstairs room Ken Riley (aka Yarkshire Gamer) had his Battle of Mentana game which has been at several shows this year.
We ran our game twice with the morning game going down to the wire with both armies on the brink of defeat and resulting in a narrow English victory. The afternoon game was slightly more in favour of the English but was called a draw.
Thank you to Andy, Simon, Steve and Will for helping with the game. Also Charles, Jim, John and Oliver for joining us.
