As part of the obviously massive celebrations marking this momentous occasion I received the following gaming related gifts - a Viking Ship from my brother which is the right scale for my Vikings - do I make it waterline ....
A Cold War two player game from DK which I need to get a game of in. DK also did his mind games on me ....
Then the considerably better half took me down to Britain's Ocean city to spend a couple of hours at a wargames show. What was really good to see was an impressive Starship Troopers game.
Above the communications outpost under attack - the insert is there as I have the same APC for my Light Armour Mobile infantry.
Below bugs facing the main MI compound.
The show its self was good with a good selection of traders but nothing really jumped out at me - I did pick up some Saxon civies and Celt heroes for a bargain price. I was hoping to see a cheap copy of SAGA 1st edition, but nothing doing - so after being Jedi mind tricked by DK on Wednesday bought Risk: Europe online instead.
As I was with by better half - we headed off to the main shopping area of the Ocean city and picked up some bargains.
The evening was spent at Frankie and Benny's - which was ok, nice burger but probably a bit overpriced. This was followed by watching the Post -which is a well acted and put together film (the pace put me in mind of Bridge of Spies). It is a good film but would be as good on TV - there were a couple of heavy handed bits showing how oppressed women were back in the 60's and 70's. Still it was a good film.
The next day we spent the morning up on the South moor in a cold wind.
Some cracking views and a really good walk which I would heartily recommend.
The only fly in the ointment was that I knocked my watch on the floor of hotel room and then forgot about it - when I contacted the hotel apparently it was nowhere to be seen ☹️
Overall a good weekend.
