So he can remember me as a young teenager, not having a clue about how to play wargames. Not that I had a clue, most of the time, while playing on Sunday!<br /><br />Those rules Dave used with his game certainly were fun, and if those are the old school type of rules previously used, I hope they make a comeback soon. They were far easier to play, than most of the new '100+ pages' rules books you get nowadays.

The major problem is that the organisers don't advertise enough (probably due to the expenses - £400 for a magazine advert, I believe - and not utilising the Internet effectively to advertise the show for free via forums etc).<br /><br />First year really was a good first-time event, and things looked promising for the future. The second show was a failure, if everyone is being honest. That being the case, a lot of people didn't return this year. Another problem is that the most local clubs/groups don't seem to turn up for the event. I don't know why. But, people were conspicuous with their absence. <br /><br />This show has the potential to be a very good small to medium sized show. Unfortunately, as things are being done at the moment, it will probably die before it gets a chance to take off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-82888946757178191152016-10-17T09:57:24.829-07:002016-10-17T09:57:24.829-07:00Ah, another blog another show!

In all fairness, it did look stunning. <br /><br />Is this a new show or why it looks as if nobody knew it was being hosted?Mathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776165776368681924.post-10018908696077163362016-10-17T09:15:16.818-07:002016-10-17T09:15:16.818-07:00That looks like a great show Joe, great pictures t...That looks like a great show Joe, great pictures too.

The games look good but despite the good brushwork 40k mostly makes me yawn these days.
