Just a very brief
update in this post to let people know that Richard Clarke, myself and another
six members of the TooFatLardies club (Harpers, Biffo, Alan, Trev, Elton and
Noddy) are making the trip to the beautiful city of Antwerp on Friday for the
Crisis 2012 show held on Saturday, 3rd November and hosted by the Tin Soldiers of Antwerp.
This has been one of
the highlights of my wargaming year since 2009 and is always a great show,
bringing the very best of European wargaming
together in one place. Added to
this hobby incentive is the city of Antwerp itself, surely one of the most
attractive of North European cities and always very welcoming.
We're taking a
participation game of Dux Britanniarum, which will (I think) be Saxon sea
raiders against Sub-Roman British defenders.
As ever, anyone is more than welcome to join in the game - but also, as
ever, it’s the chance to meet old friends and new which is the real highlight
of the trip.
Here's some photos
from the last few years, together with some pictures of the old town of
Antwerp, all of which bring back some terrific memories. Look forward to seeing a few of
you this weekend!
Tot binnenkort!
Looking like a realy nice event !

Have a great time Sidney and we look forward to seeing some pictures of the event and your display game. The snow effects in the pictures that you have done in this post look very effective, would you mind sharing how you achieved this?
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pat.
I had a tremendous time at the new venue, not in the least while playing in the Dux demo. It was a joy to see Richard in action. Thanks very much for your coming there and explaining games to Continentals like me :o)
ReplyDeleteI see a Reject in the pics!
