A Question Of Scale

Saturday saw the return by my wife and I to the Battle of Evesham Medieval event after several years being missed due to coinciding holidays and once to the awful weather.
In conjunction with the event was the Barons War Wargames event, as you would imagine the majority of the games in display were medieval themed. There was also a healthy trade presence supported by among others Athena, Gripping Beast, Ironclad and Tiger Miniatures. The games were all of a magnificent standard as you can glean from the following photos of games that particularly caught my eye
A fictional Wars of the Roses battle.
Dr. Rob Jones was in hand demonstratin his upcoming skirmish rules 
The well deserved winner of best in show was this German Peasants War game.
Scaling up here are some reenactment shots from the event.

Well worth a visit, entry is free and if you take advantage of the events party and ride £10 entry to the wargames event was a modest £2.
Until next time.....................KBO

    Thanks Phil, enjoyed the pics, you had the better day on the Saturday. Weather forecast was grim for the Sunday, so we didn’t set off as the 140 miles didn’t seem worth it ……. and then the weather turned out not to be so bad here after all, so I am kicking myself a bit.

      We were lucky we were able to attend either day. I hope the post has alleviated the disappointment rather than honed it.

    Lots of "Loonies" on show there! Enjoyed the visit we made with you in an earlier year. The wargames show though is of more interest to me than the reenactments.

      Loonies? Maybe but one cannot gainsay their knowledge of their period.

    Some lovely looking games Phil…
    And you had nice weather… I don’t think the reenactors would have had as much fun if they had to play in the pouring rain…

    All the best. Aly
