Saturday saw some of the collective meet up for a trip to the Legionary show in Exeter - DK and I arrived first and did a perusal of the bring and buy - DK picked up a number of bargains with Undaunted Stalingrad and some Batman Miniatures Game stuff, I picked up some British WW2 stuff in 15mm - might try and paint some (after the dragons and wolf riders and Orks and …).
Then we did a wander around the show.
Above a rather nice Rapid Fire game in 20mm and 2 shots of alternate end to WW2, with the Soviets vs the British. The organiser was quite effusive about the books it was based on … which I can’t remember now. But it looked good.
Above shows a nice 1672 style game - I can’t recall the rules they were using, but looked nice. At alt 40k game using One Page Rules and I think miniatures - pretty epic.
Talking of Epic - Jason and the argonauts, Talos, a fleece and a ship - lovely setup using Dragon Rampant.
Then we have some Frostgrave and DBA.
The peeps at Brethren had a large Hastings game and a couple of small participation games which Snake-eyes, Tiger-King and myself had a go at. It was Celts (me) versus Romans (Tiger-King), in a close run thing … I was let down by some appalling dice rolling as my Celts surrounded the Romans - but failed kill. Curses … I pick up the quick start rules for a couple of quid. Could be good for a quick pick up game. An enjoyable show - good fun with chums.
This weekend was the big event I have been out on the moor for. I was suffering with a little FOMO not being up there, but I got to go to the show and dismantled the decking - which was rotting in places. So a good use of my time.
Obviously now I have to put the replacement slab etc in place … next weekend?
