Has I mentioned in my previous post, on our way home I planned to do a slight detour to take in Attack! at Devizes.
It is at a local school so the show is split over several rooms which makes it look not very busy but it certainly seemed busy to me. It had a nice mix of traders and games, several you don't see in our neck of the woods, a modest spend by yours truly but see later.
Some games which caught my eye
Below, 28mm Arnhem, Oosterbeck western flank perimeter by Hereford Old Guard.Pyrrhus V Romans by Skirmish Wargames.West Country smuggling, 28mm by Combined Oppos.
Now the holiday bit you can skip so you do not get bored, but they are mostly military related.
Tintagel
The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Museum, BodminWe popped into Devizes town for lunch these caught my eye, a turreted spire, 15th century houses and the town lock up.On returning home this order from Perry Miniatures I ordered while away were awaiting me, hence the modest show spend.
TTFN & KBO
Some great looking games
ReplyDeleteLots there to enjoy besides the ones I photographed.
DeleteAttack looks a decent show judging from your pictures and comments. I'm pleased you fitted in some hobby related visits too. Nice to be reminded what we are playing on Tuesday too!
ReplyDeleteit wasn't half bad, worth the slight detour.
DeleteNice show Phil, good that you could detour to it. There is a bloke on YouTube who has covered the show this morning and it does look good. I thought it was one room and quiet, so your comment that it was several rooms and busy bodes well for the show.
ReplyDeleteEdit - here is a link to that video. https://youtu.be/EyV65looyJs
DeleteGood to see you out and about. As others have said, show looks good as do your visits to the historical sites.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan, the show rounded the trip off nicely.
DeleteI do love the old "split between many rooms" shows. Reminds me of the shows of yore.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, the individual rooms certainly help dissipate the crowed feel and it was a lot better for me to hear people with less background noise
DeleteAn interesting post Phil, and Attack impressed, some really nice tables there.
ReplyDeleteThank you George, the show was well worth the stop off.
DeleteClearly a very well planned holiday Phil…
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures.
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly, my thirty plus years of production planning experience is still lurking in there it appears.
DeleteFamily stuff and the weather precluded my hoped attendance on Sunday, so thanks for posting a few pics of the show. Some years ago I attended with friends, but it was all rather strung out and hard to locate some halls, so we were never sure if we missed anything or not. A good mix of game and traders though so hopefully next year the stars might align for my attendance...
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a floor plan so it was quite interesting trying to locate Bicorne I just followed the trail of people to the various parts🙂
DeleteSome very nice tables at Attack this year. Pity I couldn’t make it along
ReplyDeleteThere was indeed, some nice participation games too.
