Phalanx Wargames Show, June 2018

The club game for Phalanx this year was a demo of Chosen Men.

Game went well and had positive comments.

There was plenty of time also to look round the show.

As with other years a good selection of both traders and games.

The only down point as normal is the poor lighting.

April 2018

Only one thing happened this month, Salute

Another excellent show as always.

Always busy, but never feel crowded there's plenty of room to walk about and the stands/games don't get over crowded either.

As this is posted, I'll be posting the 2019 visit soon and already booked the hotel for 2020.

Its been too long since my last post, time to try and get back on track.

January 2018

My first taste of Iron Cross
A Desert war game put on at the club (Manchester area Wargames)

I took the British and Bob the German. Really enjoyed my first game and have since bought the rules and a couple of my own armies, but more another day.

All figures are 1/72 (20mm) of various makes.

British won the day by seizing the most buildings.

On the same night my son Mark started his DofE Silver Skills by playing/painting 40k

Some pics of his games against his assessor and the club president.

And finally for January we played a game of Check Your 6, this was another one of sets of rules and figures purchased a while ago. Played a participation game at Triples 2011, the game was Vietnam war and you got a model of what you shot down. I downed a B-52 but that was a big too big to give away. I got the rules and some planes from same show. 7 years later we had a game.
