Colours 2023

Games that caught my eye on our visit to this year's show see Dave's blog "Tales from GHQ", link in side bar, for more photos.
Liverpool Wargamers - Saga, Samurai skirmish.
Newbury & Reading Wargames - Nagashino 1579
Wargamers Association of Reading - 2nd Mantinea 362BC
Simon Miller's - 2nd Mantinea 362BC
Wargaming Headquarters?  - Rapid Fire Reloaded Normandy scenario.
Loughton Strike Force - Saigon 1968
There were lots more games equally worthy of phographing but one can only do so many especially in the heat.
Until next the post........

    1. Yer, I hit the publish button forgetting I hadn't checked through it. Although we enjoyed this visit and previous ones we felt that like Salute it has run its course for us, but never say never.

  2. Some fine pictures of the games there Phil. As you say, never say never again...

  3. Some fine photos there and easy to hit publish, only to realise you got something wrong! I thought the show better than last year and it is the easiest for me to get to, so I plan to keep attending. Partizan for example is about 4 hours so quite a commitment to attend.

    1. Have to concur that the show was an improvement on last year which was no doubt still suffering from the effects of the plague perhaps?

  4. The Saigon modellers deserve high praise for that table, though it is the Rapid Fire reloaded pics that I have returned to (three times now!) …. I like the look of that command base, with the commanders standing around the map.

    1. The Saigon game was indeed a treat, but you can doubt tell from the photo count that the RFR game was my favourite.

  5. Thanks Phil and a nice addition to David’s photos. The two Mantinea battles are lovely and of course the WW2 really catches the eye

  6. Nice looking games Phil…
    I particularly like the Rapid Fire and the Saigon games… very well presented by the look of it.

    All the best. Aly

    1. The Saigon table was a thing of beauty which my photos do not do justice

  7. I do like the look of the Japanese forces and the Vietnam game is excellent.

    1. The castle was a particularly fine piece, and the mass battle was worthy of Kurasowa.
