Some of the other games that caught my eye at Partizan
Big (40mm) ACW
Lord of the Rings using To The Strongest. I've got lots of LotR and I know James likes TTS, so maybe...
Some chaps in Tricornes
Foy. This game won a prize I believe. Looked to me like it was based on the Band of Brothers TV series episode.
WW2 54mm. Oddly they were using Rapid Fire! rules, which I like, but which seemed counter intuitive to me. I'd have thought using 54mm you'd want something more skirmishy - possibly even individual model based. They also had what seemed like a high tanks to men ratio (though I understand the desire to get your big cats out).
Nice looking set up though - I like the big 54mm soldiers.
Big To The Strongest game
More tricornes
ECW?
The inevitable Sharp Practice game - looking lovely.
2mm(!) action. Chum James was helping out with this. Looked fascinating and splendidly presented, though I personally feel by this scale, regardless of painting and modelling talent, you're effectively playing a boardgame.
Brilliantly painted and modeled though
Felt to me like there was a lot of WW2, both 28 and 20mm (but not much 15mm)
A steep decline in Sharp Practice games (I only saw one, when last year it felt like you couldn't move for 'em)
A little lighter on punters than previous iterations of the show too I thought.
A great day out. Plenty of inspiration.
Some excellent looking games
