The Other Partizan 2017, part 2

As promised, the second batch of photos from today's show (Ed. by the time I finished this post it was yesterday's show). These are in, as they say on the tv, in no particular order (of merit that is). I will let the pictures do the talking...

This and the following six photos are of a very nicely done 1690s game set, I presume, in Ireland put on by the Derby Club. I liked it, especially the green windmill. I've got that 'sconce' model.






Steve Jones put on another of his splendid American Revolution games. I like what he's done with his collection so much that I might just sell mine and start again, as my troops are rather dull by comparison. Seriously, I won't do that but mine do need livening up colour-wise. 







Dave Docherty again put on one his vast Sudan games using IIRC Peter Gilder's old set of rules. I would love to build a hot air balloon for my French Revolution collection. The mat is from Tiny Battlemats and is a hybrid 'arid' and 'desert' cloth. I've seen Dave's Sudan games a few times and there's always something new, or that particularly draws the eye.





The Like a Stone Wall guys staged a massive Napoleonic game of one part of the Battle of Borodino (Storming Uititsa or something like that). Again, a big well presented 28mm game.


Phil Olley presented a colourful 28mm Seven Years War game, Prussians v French. Beautifully painted figures with lots of interesting bit of ephemera and vignettes.  








I think thats enough for Part 2. Part 3, with the rest of the photos and comments on the show will follow shortly.

    Anyone know the producer of the civilians in picture 3?
