Misc., Wargame Show, York

A group of us went down in the train to the wargame show in York, and a great day out it was.Of course in Britain, rail journeys are a real nightmare, as each train is run by a different company, the stations are run by another lot, and there’s even another group who own the tracks. Margaret Thatcher’s rail privatisation scheme in the 80’s has a lot to answer for… a group of friends can’t all travel together without problems over companies, tickets and timetables. Bah!Anyway, the show was great fun, and had several great demo display games, a few of which were really inspiring. Some of my favourites are shown here.The traders I sought out included Elite Miniatures (for some superb 28mm 1796 Austrians), Dixon Miniatures (for a chat), Caliver Books (to hand over the master of Die Kriegskunst), and some other guys who sold great 28mm buildings. A good day out more than made up for Scotland’s dismal performance in the rugby.
