Warfare 2011 (Or 4 Go Mad in Oxfordshire)(Or rather Berkshire!*)

Well maybe not mad ! but a good time was had by all and we left a good few £s with various traders . We all helped unload 'S's people carrier , thank the lord scenery is not a heavy as lead ! and set up the S&A Scenery stall . Then people dispersed to spend money before the crowds of eager buyers descended on the stand. I must confess I forgot to take photos on the Saturday - busy on the stand and busy buying!. (click on photos to enlarge)


The Spoils of Warfare, somebody was selling off FOW scenery at half price so I  maxed out on the opportunity !


'A' reclines on his bed looking at his purchases (just prior to this he managed to spill his water bottle over the duvet !)

'A' and 'B' man the S&A Scenics stand http://www.scenics.co.uk/


A magnificent 54mm Napoleonics game , they were using 'Blackpowder' rules .


I was VERY  impressed by this game ! a lot of effort had gone into it .


Some of the reinforcements awaiting to go onto the battlefield .


 A WW2 Far East game with some brilliant terrain .


It aint alf ot mum !


I did take notes on who was doing each game - but have lost them (oops) so I  am unable to say who did what - apologies !


A demonstration SAGA game the new Dark Age skirmish rules everybody is talking about .'B' managed to obtain a copy (they look interesting) but when 'S' tried to get a copy on Sunday they had sold out ! and I  was told that they are having to do a reprint , having run out of the first printing !.


'B' and 'S' survey the customers ( I agree a little off putting !)


One of the FOW competition games with the very impressive Battlegames Sahara fort (I was tempted to buy one but resisted)


 I was pleased with the standard of the boards being used in the FOW  games much better than the normal competition games.


Brr ! cold !1


'A' and 'B' study FOW ! The show ended about 3.30 when traders started packing up - we were on the road by 4.05pm and back home for 9.30pm . A great weekend had by all !. * 'B'  has just pointed out to me I  got my counties wrong ! Oops !.
