? Is this a weird collaboration or just a weird naming coincidence? XD

brennon

A weird naming coincidence that our Peachey also has the same name as the ex-GW chap haha

panzerkaput

Check out the Cornish Guys doing Blood and Plunder

avernos

been there, did that. I swung by Gringo’s to talk to you and couldn’t see you.

goban

The weekend is here with a bang bang, bang.

brewer1980

Was a fine Salute this year.

kantor72

Cracking day out.Picked up What a Cowboy amongst all the other shiny stuff i came home with.

hazyboy75

Great show. Spent too much!

demonsub

It’s looked like quite the show. I love looking at all of the pics of the tables and the painting competition. Some day I’ll have to go myself.

dafthelmet85

Fantastic day, there was soo much I missed mainly because the demo table I was running was busy. May have also pounced on @brennonas he passed minding his own business and gushed about 10mm Dwarfs. ?

avernos

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I completely missed the 10mm Kings of War

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

fogh

A brilliant set of pictures and game descriptions, Ben and team ?. It is really nice to see so many games, especially the ones I missed on the day! ?. Thanks for taking such nice pics and the kind words for the Friends of General Haig tables – much appreciated!

avernos

Great catching up with you. One year I hope to get to play a game

fogh

You’d be very welcome, Gerry ?. Perhaps we’d get a proper fiery Lion of the North ?.

avernos

he just needs a morale style test that forces him to advance towards the closest enemy he can see, drop in a modifier per turn to account for build up of smoke and other distractions as the battle progresses that makes it more likely he’ll hare off like a Swedish Lion after a target.

fogh

Good idea. I think there do need to be some tweaks for generals etc. There were many instances of commanders being injured in actual battles, but I think the risk reward thing is putting people off doing it in my games. Will have a think – thanks for the ideas ?.

Glad the show went well for all from what folk are saying

Hope the traders found it profitable as well
