I spent the first fifteen minutes collecting my pre-orders and picking up stuff off my list. I then went over to Dave Stone's table where he was running a small game to show case his upcoming WWI rules Zero Hour to be published via Gripping Beast later in the year. I watched while he played through a couple of turns with a keen young lad, whose dice throwing I made add was amazing. Dave then kindly ran through the basics of the rules for me. Needless to say I was most impressed and will definitely be making a purchase, look out for some content in WI as the rules progress.
We were on a time constraint so I did not take any photos of the games which were up to the usual standard we have come to expect from the show. So I will have to bore you with my purchases, as I will be away for the first Partizan a bit of stocking up was in order🙂

North Star wire spears from Coriatani, paint from Pendraken, airbrush cleaner from Barwell Bodyworks, French and British Napoleonics from Gripping Beast and Dave Thomas to top up my Peninsular project stash.
Speaking of which look out for a game report later in the week which will contain pretty pictures.
Until then............

A grand day out and a very respectable haul there!
ReplyDeleteOne can't beat a bit of retail therapy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a productive shopping expedition.
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed, there is WMMS in a couple of weeks so there may be more depending who is trading, no list that I can see currently though.
DeleteWell stocked up now by the look of it!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to get the chance to meet up and chat for a while... all be it far too briefly.... glad you had a good day.
I sadly missed out on the free French inf' sprues Drat!
Good to see you too. See above re. stock🙂
DeleteSuper stuff Phil lots of nice stuff…interested to know how you are getting on with the Warlord French ? Have you completed any yet
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. Your comment had gone into spam, Blogger continues to astound me it even sends my replies there too. I have a fair few Perry and Front Rank ready to go before I get to them.
DeleteA really nice mix of clobber. I am very partial to the Gamers tufts.
ReplyDeleteCan't beat them for variety that's for sure
ReplyDeleteSplendid loot Mr Robinson… You made good use of your time.
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
