This year, the 9th of June, it is time for the BOTS convention, the unofficial Transformers convention in The Netherlands.I won`t be able to attend, Aalsmeer not really near the door for a non-driver like myself, but if you get the chance, go there to …
The closed circles of MI-5 or the CIA have nothing on Posties Rejects this weekend. On Sunday we met up at our top secret bunker (Posties Shed-of-War) to plan our takeover of the world. Well, actually we were working on our Display game for Broads…
What a hectic day! Back from the Mantic Open Day and a lot of talking to excited people about Deadzone, DreadBall, Dwarf King’s Hold and Pandora. Every game has its fans and every fan has a question. I do enjoy … Continue reading →
Well it’s that time of year again, and tomorrow is the 2013 Mantic Open Day. This year we’re in a new venue a short distance from Mantic HQ so we should have a bit more space to sprawl. I think … Continue reading →
The next weekend is Dadi.com time, the 13th edition of the southern Europe’s foremost wargame show. It is held in San Marino, an enclave State inside Italy. This is the first time that I will participate in this location. I’ll run Ferrum et Gloria and Zen Garden demonstration tables. Andrea from Ganesha Games will be [...]
Bell of Lost Souls own convention, Wargames Con, is coming.In its 5th year, War Games Con is another on the list of up and coming gaming cons looking to replicate the magic that is Adepticon.This year’s War Games Con features:-Warhammer 40,000-Warhamme…
I’m so tired and replete! Sunday I was in Canino (VT) for a wargame convention organised by Narciso, my wargame club mate who lives there. The opportunity was a countryside festival about asparagus. The municipal authorities gave us a building in the town centre to place our tables. So some demonstration games ran all the [...]
It was that time of the year again, the Antwerp Convention was upon us. Taking along the GF and the Munchkin along this year, I was out with a modest shopping list: my goals where three Saint Seiya Myth Cloths: God Cloth Hyoga, and Gold Saints Al…
A new wargame convention will be held in Canino (VT) this Sunday during a fair about asparaguses and other traditional food products. It will be an opportunity to play and eat a lot. More, some visits to Etruscan and Longobard archaeological sites are organised for the day. All information on a mini-website that I designed: [...]
Here’s the Warmaster portion of my Adepticon 2013 experience. Four of us played three 2k games over the course of last Friday. My High Elves faced down Jordan’s Undead, Nat’s Dark Elves and Eric’s Chaos army. Good games all.
Salute, of course. Every year at Salute, people ask why it’s only a one-day show and not the whole weekend. It’s one of those age-old questions that seems to have no answer. This year the mutterings seemed to be particularly … Continue reading →
As usual I went to Salute with a shopping list already prepared and was able to get most of what I wanted. Also as usual I came home with a few surprise extras and the obligatory ton of leaflets, catalogues from traders and handouts from demo…
All safely returned from Salute now. Thought I’d post up a few thoughts and thanks while it was fresh in my mind. I didn’t have a camera, and rather than just nick photos I’ll point you at: this as a starting … Continue reading →
I promised to post my pictures and show report from the Salute 2013 wargaming event as soon as possible and I have worked really hard to get them ready in double quick time. I shot several hundred photos at Salute (as I always do) but have been ab…
The GF want to get to the city ‘fast’ yesterday because she needed some shoes. And we needed a camcorder for all those home made po… I mean, family events like conventions, holidays and such.So by then 6 hours later I was staring in the FANS st…
I’m really glad I only live a fifteen minute drive from the Salute 2013 wargame’s show because every fiber of my body hurts after what has been an amazing day. The South London Warlords have done themselves proud today, putting on yet another…
As in previous years we are in Agliana for Hellana wargame convention. The same trip to Tuscany from the early hours of the Sunday morning to the night, with a pause for the highway stop dinner. All is done to live another wargaming experience together with our friends from every corner of Italy. Look at [...]
Fellow Reject Ray (of Don’t Throw a One) posted this the other day but I thought it was worth reposting here as well. Myself and other members of Posties Rejects will be attending Salute 2013 tomorrow and would love to meet up with fellow Blogger’…
I misses the 2011 show because it fell over the Easter holiday and I had already committed to a family holiday (the sacrifices I make!). So today’s review of past Salute’s is last years show in 2012. In really struggled to get round this even…
Continuing the slideshow review of my pictures from previous Salute shows here are my photo’s from the 2010 event. This was the first year when my note taking kept pace with my photo’s but it was also the year when I realised what a struggle it was to …
Some shots from the games I played at HAVOC this past year. I actually forgot to take shots of my WM game. 
Continuing this weeks theme of past Salute shows we now get to the 2009 event. This was a watershed moment for me because BigLee’s Miniature Adventures was still in its early days (just a few months old) and I decided to have a go at entering the paint…
Martin, an long-time friend who now lives in Vancouver, has been slowly posting his photos from the recent Trumpeter Salute gaming convention. As I mentioned in my writeup, he’s got a significantly fancier camera than mine, a fairly recent Canon … Continue reading →
Another day, and another collection of pictures from a past Salute, this time the 2008 Show. As you can see, I encountered some ‘Imperial’ difficulties during the day but it was still a great show. The organisers managed to steer clear of controversy t…
Continuing my review of past Salute Wargaming shows today we come to the 2007 event. This was the year of the infamous ‘Salute Nazis’ that caused such a stir in the days and weeks after the event. For those not in the know… Salute has …
