Partizan 2026

Dave duly arrived a little before nine to start our journey over to Newark for this year's first Partizan. Accompanying us this year was Dave's grandson Will the newest recruit to the GHQ Irregulars.

We arrived around eleven, there was still a queue for entry a good sign of a healthy attendance has it moved at a good pace so it was not lack of entry points.

On entry sensory overload kicked in due to the mass of people and volume of games and traders.

Below is a selection of photos of just some of the excellent games, I must apologise to the folk who put on the amazing participation games I just did not get down again later to take any photos.

The Iron Brigade.

Derby Wargames

The League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers 

The Bodkins

Friends of a Military Gentleman 

The League of Augsburg 

A little sparse on the purchase front this time.

A 20mm 6pdr anti-tank gun from Empress Miniatures. A Loyd carrier for the above from Colin Rumford aka Rapid Fire. Some vines and a nice tree and hedge piece from Last Valley. Grass Tufts and a top up of Javis desert sand and rock that I use on my bases. Speaking of bases, a top up from Warbases.

All in all a grand if tiring day out, well done to Laurence, Richard and the team for another excellent show not forgetting the numerous  traders and folk who bring their wondrous games to entertain us. Roll on October!

T'other Partizan 2025

Another fine show full of spectacle, no reflections except that stewardless parking with no directional signs and spaces marked was a little chaotic on the runway given the number of attendees involved.

I did not take pictures of a lot of the games way to many for more than one per game in our time slot so I took a varied selection from a handful of games that particularly caught my eye.

First up our chum Kevin's AKA The Iron Brigade fine little samurai game.

Next a Russo-Polish War encounter from Bramley Barn Wargames Club.

Followed up by 1st Corps World War II Eastern Front game, Kamenewo 1941.

Staying with World War II the Old Pikeys Gaming Group Five Games at Arnhem spectacular.

Finally The Bodkins,  Hundred Years War Siege of Montargis game 1427.  An ultra talented bunch who present outstanding medieval mayhem each year.

Thats all folks I hope you enjoyed my small selection, until next time happy gaming and KBO
