I managed to get there and back without any trouble - phew!!! Heavy mist / low cloud on the way out but no snow (that's a rarity). 80 mile round trip.
Didn't seem to be as many demo games as usual. Notably absent were Peter Pig and Society of Ancients. Not much in the way of paper goods either (books, rules, etc). Bring & Buy much better organised - actually managed to see what was on offer and buy something.
So here's my very modest loot list:
1 x box Revell Aztecs (Mr McNulty got there before me and snaffled all the Persians).
3 x Khmer cavalry plus artillery piece with crew (Irregular) - all destined for Ian's army.
1 x carton of Etruscan hoplites with pilum (Forged in Battle) - ordered, yet to receive.
Met plenty of people - even one from King's Lynn!
Found a company importing and selling Eureka miniatures to the UK. Didn't have a DBA list handy unfortunately. Need to check what I might require in the future.
Was going to buy some Donningtons but the stall seemed somewhat disorganised - if you were not taking the blister packs they were not interested in talking to you. Curious!
A huge show with plenty on display but I can't help feeling that something was missing! Still, by far, the best wargames show in the north.
Darn it. You're going to ask me for money now ...
