Wouldn't have said they were that old Dave but could have been, there certainly wasn't anyone under 40 apart from a couple travelling with their parents who were about our age
Most were Americans though, but maybe bookings via European/British agencies would have a different mix

This is a rather large game we did at Bovington Tank Museum a few years back, of the assault by 53 (Welsh) Division on the Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch:

Some more 1980s Cloggies from me this week: Some M113 C&V 25 recce vehicles, a YPR-765 conversion and the first of the infantry:

Today I've put some more AB Napoleonics up on the blog, along with one 'paint-conversion' of Marshal Bessiers from a Marshal Murat figure by Sho Boki:

Have just produced an illustrated speed painting horses effort on the blog

I hope it makes sense or better still might be of use even

Now I've got to finish the riders!

The Warsaw Pact rampage through Schleswig-Holstein continues! The Danish Funen Life Regiment makes a stand at the village of Gnissau:

Gripping stuff, young obertrainenmarshallingyardgefreiter; shame the game couldn't be finished.

One of the reasons a friend and I make the hour-and-a-quarter drive to Southampton on Saturdays is because our club (a) plays on Saturdays, and (b) has an 8-hour window for the first Saturday each month, and a 5-hour window for the third Saturday (and fifth if there is one, although this can also be extended to an all-dayer if enough people want it). None of this "get yer kit out/off, have a game (sort of), and pack it all away again in just three hours" mullarkey.

Yes indeed! We can book the Scout Hut for full weekdays, but weekends are normally pre-booked by the Scouts. That said, most of us work shifts or are self-employed, so we do book the odd full weekday or two-day slog for the big games. The Carmarthen club is also starting to do occasional full days from Christmas onward.

The Chrimbo Game this year was a 10mm ACW battle fought with Fire & Fury 2nd Edition: the right flank of Bloody Antietam:

Very splendid indeed.

I'm a big fan of BF&F, the only down side are the stats cards which follow the units around (or not, seeing as I keep leaving them behind and mixing them up - really irritates me mates). I'm wondering if the stats could be a permanent fixture of a brigadier stand?I'm going to try that idea for size.
