As the game write up was a bit long and I didn’t get much time to get round the show I’ve decided to do another quick post.
I thought the show was a bit better this year from a game point of view, we seemed to have more space around the table this year although it did get a bit cramped when the B&B was in full flow. Apart from being down in the programme as SELWG (have I mentioned that already?) I thought that the organisers might have had a tad more interaction with those putting on the games. Apart from getting our badges and them making sure the table was ok we never had a thing for the rest of the day, it would have been nice if someone had popped by to ask how it was going. Even at the end of the day no-one asked us if it went well, indeed as soon as we took the cloths off the table they were whipped away, and I mean as soon as! That aside it is a nice venue and from reading some other blogs the traders had a good time and the games seemed to have gone down well.
As for the rest of the games, I personally didn’t think that they were better than last years ones. There were a few crackers but not as many that made you go ‘wow’ as before with too many ‘line ’em up and have a go’ type games on pretty basic terrain for my liking. Having said that though the modelling and painting standards were very high, I just think that the old foam square approach has had its day what with all the great mats and cloths available today, and the basic terrain spoils things somewhat.
Unfortunately I seem to have lost my notes about what was what but here are the photos that came out ok, I was rushing a bit and the light was a bit crap in places hence no pics of the lovely looking Bosin Wars game which is really annoying as it was very cool!!

Ta, needed less tanks and at least some infantry really.
Shame I couldn’t use more photos. Will try and take more time next year.
