Warfare 2023

 For the first time in a while, I went to Warfare. For reasons as baroque as why the SELWG show is in the Lee Valley, Warfare was in Farnborough (okay 1.5 miles from the nearest railway station according to the web site, though whether that was as the crow flies or including going way past it to get to the entrance I do not know).

SELWG does lay on a bus service to and from the station, but for Warfare it was a bit of a slog out there.

There was a lot more of the companies I buy from at SELWG, but there were some surprising no-shows, which lead to some rearranging of tables that made finding some of the traders more difficult as they were not were they were on the map

I did end up buying a number of sets of rules, so in no particular order.

Seven Days to the Rhine, Cold War rules for the 'eighties. Though designed for 15mm, I am looking at either 10mm or 6mm.

Crooked Dice had their 2.5 version of their Cinematic Skirmish Rules. Combining the rules from the previous variants into a common book. They had lots of new figures, a number of which I also bought.

This is the first Fistfull of Lead game I have bought. It is a simple game for mechanics (and Kaiju) battles. No to find some suitable figures.

Pandyman had their new World War One Trench Offensive starter set. More later.

Winter of '79, set during a fictional civil breakdown during the late 'seventies. Small scale skirmish.

Other items, from Empress I bought a Hornet tank.

And LK-2 tank, plus a T64A.

From Pandyman I bought a number of their modern emergency service figures including Riot Police.

Fire man.

Police.

And two armoured Paramedics.

There were a lot of other things bought, but that is for a later post.

On the way back the route goes past the Farnborough Aeronautical Science Trust museum. There are a number of interesting items on display outside, one day I will come back and have a look in the museum.
