Claymore 2017

Another fine Claymore show in Edinburgh today. Well organised as ever in a good venue, helped by the cooler weather.

Running a participation game doesn't give much time to get around the show, but I added a few more figures to my BEF 1940 project from Crusader Miniatures. Then a total collapse at the Warlord stall, with a pile of French figures for the same period.

Our participation game 'Take the Pass!' Had a steady stream of players, who all enjoyed the game. The Turks held on in one of the four games. Turkish Delight went down well for the winners!




My photos of other games that caught my eye. 

Starting with Ramillies in 6mm from Glasgow Phoenix.


Burma 1944 - big game Bolt Action



Nappies from League of Augsburg


Nordlingen - 30 Years War from the Durham club


Trojan War


Very nice ACW game from The Iron Brigade





More Nappies from Border Reivers


Wings of War, always a popular participation game


Nijmegen Bridge, seen the film, play the game!



Many thanks to the South East Scotland Club for a good day.
