Well, it's been 3 months since my last post, that hadn't been the plan, but events have conspired to make it so. Over the years the Partizan shows have gained a justified reputation for showcasing excellence from all aspects of wargaming. As such it has becoming a very popular show and this year was no exception. Steve and I arrived about 11am and the hall was very full and remained so well into the afternoon.
Here are photos of a selection of the games, there were 42 demo games and 28 participation games, plus the Lardy zone; so my apologies for those who are not represented.
The League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers had a 'what if..' game based on Wake Island in the 1920's
On a smaller scale, the Ruckusteers had some eye-catching scenery as a backdrop to their Ruckus game
Mr Bill Gaskin had a fictional battle somewhere in 18th century Europe
Ken Riley (aka Yarkshire Gamer) brought his Germantown game to the show
Westbury Gamers brought The Battle of Sagrajas, 1086 set in 11th Century Spain to the show.
Burton & District Wargames Club put on a Zulu War scenario the Battle of Intombe
The Bodkins had a War of the Roses game
The Ardhammer Group had a game set in the Franco-Dutch War of 1674
A good day out, with plenty of games to see, inspiration in bucketloads and a chance to meet gaming friends and acquaintances from all over the country. Even the exchequer didn't suffer too much, a few bases, a book and 11 figures for my War of the Roses collection.
The massed cavalry in the Franco-Dutch look lovely.
