Show Report

TRIPLES 2015

Another one of our favoruite shows through the year.

On a plus point, lads took some stuff and sold on the bring and buy.

Our best game - which we went back to again was the Mad Max Lorry Chase.

I remember this from years ago, and we played it 2 years ago. Its a great, fun game.
The game is based on the Mad Max chase at the end of the 2nd film (my fav of the 3)
Everyone plays the "bad" guys and we have to stop the lorry moving 100 spaces.

We move on relation to the lorry (if it moves 5 and I put 6 then I move 1), we can ram, some can shoot.
Lorries defense is 2 petrol bombers, 2 shooters and of course Max.

Good thing is when a car is destroyed, you can bring this on again or pick another vehicle.

 All models are 1/48th scale and models are excellent, as are the guys running it.









Quality of the other games were also up to high standards and those we played were interesting and good.

Onr game that caught our eye was a huge Napoleonic battle, think it was fight for Plancenoit in 25mm.
 Table was a frame with a tarp laid on and then filled with sand. Roads were scrapped into into the sand and had flock wa scattered over.




 The only game the lads didn't enjoy was a game run by Wargame Developments.
This game was like Monopoly, and around the history of Coastal Command during WW2.
The 6 players all took a plane each (I had a Sunderland Flying Boat) and moved around the board.
Each square landed on we were given a piece of the history which I found interesting. Also there was an oppertunity in various squares to do aircraft recognition and u-boat attacks.


Here's some more pics of other good games seen on the day.








Finally, some pics from the balcony.
