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:

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:

The Normans in Italy 2008-2010 in various shows:

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






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





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:

Do said Gentlemen turn gold into lead at these shows?

Thank you for sharing the photos!

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

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

[goat major]

Great an idea to do a campaign in a day. And looks splendid too

[Essex Boy]

Clever bunch of chaps.

[Paul]

Looks great and we now have a new tongue twister "Seven Sicilian Saracens scythe City States".
