Partizan Pics And A Touch Of Meldrew Syndrome

Made the trip to Partizan yesterday despite the efforts of the highways agency to thwart our travel, why with all the modern technology and millions unemployed does everything take so long to complete anything these days?
Now Kelham has never been the best lit of venues but this year seemed a lot worse, was I spoilt by the June tented show or have they installed those low light bulbs forced upon us by the green brigade? Either way I left the show with a cracking headache, anyway enough of Victor Meldrew mode and on with the positives (excepting both coffee machines not working, thank goodness for the man in the bar with some instant and an urn). It was extremely crowded first thing, yes it is a positive, thinning out considerably after lunch, the trend at most shows these days it seems, none the less this really helps as one can get about and take some decent snaps, I did not take pics of all of games, I am sure there will be plenty of coverage elsewhere, I just concentrated on the Great War Miniatures game, Simon (B De)Miller's Pydna game with the cast of thousands and the surrounding ones that interested me.

Dave and Aly's splendid 1914 game shows off their sculpting, painting and terrain making talents rather well, for more pics click on the Tales From GHQ link on the right.

Simon (B De) Millers massive, nay magnificent Pydna spectacle

The League Of Augsberg's Skane Wars game, nice snowy terrain and wonderfully painted Warfare Miniatures figures, these figures have real period charm and character

There you are just four of the rather splendid games at the show, many thanks to all the folk who put them on for us and to Laurence and Tricks who have worked wonders despite the curve balls thrown at them by the new Kelham management this year. Time for a move perhaps chaps?
PS.
Purchase wise added nothing to the lead mountain, just added to the MDF stack  courtesy of Warbases and got a haystack and some wire spears off Coriatani.
