A rather late and quite short Look at Partizan 2016

Steve and I journeyed up the A1 to the new venue for Partizan. I have to say that I felt this proved a big improvement. The space to walk around and the improved lighting made the experience much more congenial. On the way up we stopped at the A1 Dinner as usual for our breakfast and then arrived at the showground at about 11.45. Here are a selection of the pictures I took on the day.

 Impressive ACW game in 28mm


 


 Simon Miller put on an interesting game using Phil Hendry's superb figures. The game was insired by one of the battles in Harry Sidebottom's Warrior of Rome books. I would recommend both Simon's rules,To the Strongest and Harry's books. I have read all of  this series and now have started the set one the Throne of the Caesar's. The books have also awakened an interest in the events of the Roman Empire in Third Century.

 

 
 
Impressive naval battle with skillfully constructed ships superbly painted. 


Clothes peg armies!
 Excellent terrain constructed 

 World War Two in the snow

In general the show was well worth the trip up the A1. I am sure this show will grow and grow over the next few years. It would be interesting to compare the numbers at this show with the next one in August.
