Good morning at the West Midlands Military Show yesterday. Missed it last year, and year before that was snow hit and pretty empty, so good to see it in full flight yesterday [Update: Ironically it was probably one of the last wargames shows of 2020 before the virus hit!], although I had to squeeze it into the hectic weekend of the Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music in Birmingham, in which I say about 15 acts and 3 present/ex members of Tangerine Dream!
My personal haul was mainly 10mm housing and scenery from Pendraken. Newline were there, which I wasn't expecting and so hadn't got a list ready, and I'd just put an order into Tumbling Dice. Some nice games though, and I think my "standard" wargames table is now almost better than most of the non dedicated base-board games there - really must see about a game slot in 2021 or 2022.
Here are the photos, sorry I can't remember what or who (writing this 2 weeks later at the start of the lock-down).
Two shots of an attack on Hougoumont. Nice looking table with the Hovel Hougoumont model.
