Yesterday we braved the elements to attend the Battleground show which is even closer to home in its new venue than in previous years. Heavy snow elsewhere in the region stopped a couple of demo games from materialising but those that were on show were, by and large, pretty good, if not especially inspiring. There was a good range of subject matter and scales, but visually my favourite was the Napoleonic naval shown immediately below.
The best bit of the day was the warm welcome and words of support Katherine (especially) and I received from the friends we encountered. It made a great deal to us both, given the horrible time we’ve been having recently. Thanks fellas.
I didn’t buy anything and came away with a £10 profit.

| The Durham club put on the battle the Sesia in the Italian Wars. This is a pretty obscure battle but oddly one that has been showcased twice in a matter of weeks by clubs at opposite ends of the country. |

It is always a show worth a visit and hopefully the new venue will work out well.
Nice to see you've been out and about despite the weather. Rather liked the look of the malplaquet game , if a little congested.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read you were both out and about, and that you were much encouraged by friends. Sue and I may be distant but you are in our thoughts.
