2012 Donnington World Championships.

The World Championships 2012.

This year it was at a new venue " Donnington Races " it was easy to find and only 30 mins to get to, a great result.

It was all on one floor and they even had " Non Hippy food " actual meat and stuff instead of student nosh that might even give you some energy but save the trees , whales , dogs , cats and jellyfish.

As usual most of the time was meeting friends from around the country and discussions about this and that mixed with a bit of battlefield , country , world , System and Galaxy domination.

I really enjoyed chatting to the lad's who put on the Spanish Carlist war's game using mainly the Perry twin's excellent figures , here are a couple of pictures .

First " no one expects ........" Monty Python lives. Then a couple of Carlist artillery dish some hurt the the much better dressed Isabella Troops.

 

 

The group had a set of Diarama's which were great talking points. The Gypsy dance also added a little Spanish flare and the British Prisoners being executed some fire.

A great day had by myself and Tim.

And the overview was also well done giving a real taste for a New Conflict to get your teeth into..

The Campaign is getting close.

Another post in the same year .

We have play tested extensively Black Powder to test different types of troops , defences , brigade sizes and tactics and came to the conclusion they will do just what we want to make our fictional campaign work.
At the moment " Real Life " keeps getting in the way of this and the idea of a troop painting 28mm extravaganza has been delayed to a 15mm ( we already have the troops ) lets get at it lesser 'ganza' , even though the other members of the gaming club has had amusement getting used to 15mm after so long fighting with 28-32mm 'Hammer games .
I have just been to the World Championships ( Wargames ) and took some pictures and I have just revived my Navy for possible landing operations for the game and once I have repaired and re based them ( not seen the light outside the box for at least 6 or 7 years ) I will take some pictures and might make a record breaking 4th post in a year .

Enjoy
