I spent about five minutes with the Stonewall lads going through the refugee column. They collected the figures from all over the place - I think Bob Murch's "Pulp" range was where they found quite a few. Heaven knows where they found the Belgian school party, though. Some of the newspaper pictures and photos on the display boards the Stonewall team assembled had a more of the darker side of the "Rape of Belgium".Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-82295011329368363122012-05-22T09:31:15.417+01:002012-05-22T09:31:15.417+01:00Thanks Phil.

Struggling to drape an old blanket on top of some offcuts of hall carpet when standing next to a table of custom-built terrain squares demands a little sang froid!! However, we managed something fairly decent in the end, and no one laughed too hard when they saw us, so we were happy! The standard of tables and displays was very good though - definately not a duff game there on the day!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-53335664815417237372012-05-22T09:27:27.114+01:002012-05-22T09:27:27.114+01:00Nineteen years...ten years....gosh, it all kind of...Nineteen years...ten years....gosh, it all kind of gets blurred doesn't it.....!!
