Albanich 2013

My first wargame show of the season was yesterday's Dumfries show, Albanich. I was working in the morning so I only had time for a brief visit in the afternoon. This is a small show, but apparently a good turnout and there was a strong showing by traders. They certainly did well out of my short visit, including books, paint and more than a few figures from the Warlord stand.

I resisted adding to my ancients, but it was difficult when you see the quality of these Aventine figures.



There were only a few games but they were all very good.


Being Dumfries a VBCW game is mandatory.


French Indian wars


Bolt Action
 
 
An unusual Russo Japanese skirmish
 


And finally the Battle for Madrid (SCW)

    1. Sorry I don't, quick visit at the end of the show so I didnt get a chance to chat to the guys, from I think the Edinburgh club, doing the display.

      I have done this conflict in 15mm http://balkandave.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/russo-japanese-war.html

      Probably more inspired by Reilly Ace of Spies than anything else!
