Another shot of the Tabletop Teasers - but mainly just to show off the rather magnificent interior of Kelham Hall, the original venue for the Partizan shows:

Beautiful looking but a right pain to get trade stands and game set-ups in through the narrow corridors!

Race to the Sea 1914 - done logically in 2014. The setup at Salute:
Image
The idea was that the germans advanced down the right hand side of the table, the French down the left hand side, both trying to reach the critical canal bridge in the sleepy little town of Dampf:

The Hun cheated with a little aerial recce:

And the French with those new fangled automobiles:

But the traditional methods of transport are the best:

The Normans in Italy 2008-2010 in various shows:

This was a DBA Campaign game played in a day, one of the big advantages of that rule system and run via the rather magnificent map created by Neanderthal:
Image

Six DBA armies - Normans, Lombards, Papal Italians, Byzantines, Sicilian Saracens and Italian City States - fought for control of Italy:
Image

Image

Image

And as often happened with some of our games, it moved from a Demo game to a Participation game as spectators got drawn in:

Image

Image

And while the various games were going on (I think we managed at least 6 in a day) the rest of the armies and spare scenery made for eye-candy:

Remember seeing both those games (the latter at Bovington). Excellent set-ups both.
