About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

  1. Good God woman, you should have been a photo journalist. An interesting set of games. Escape from Brexit is very appropriate

  3. Great job in catching all of the games; the most comprehensive set of pictures that I have seen. I missed so many. I completely missed Dan Mersey's board game.

  8. @ Martin C - thanks! :)

    @ Khusru - it was quite knackering getting pics of all the games before the bloggers meetup. Nice to meet you too :)

    @ Friends of General Haig - thanks! Most years I manage to miss games, but this year I went round with floorplan in hand and set myself the task of taking pics before I could do anything else. It wasn't easy :)

    @ Herkybird - cheers! that may well be the case - I haven't seen any with pics of all the games :)

    @ Legatus - thanks! :)

    @ Norm - cheers! :)

    @ Aquahog - thanks! It was (as always) very noisy! :)

    @ Brendon - you're welcome! :)

    @ L'Empereur - merci! It's worth visiting at least once. As for the Brexit bus, it looks that way :)

  10. "Random Platypus Forum" is the best club name ever.
    thanks for these photos, Tamsin. Great to see the same games from different POVs. There were some real crackers there. I hope to get over the ocean to Salute one year.

  11. Thanks a lot, just like a virtual tour for those of us that did not get to visit this time. Great work! I have only been there once, many years ago, as I recall it was very crowded and busy, but also very athmospheric (certainly for us poor continentals, who are not exactly spoiled for choice- the excellent Crisis in Antwerp excepted). Maybe next year, your inspiring and vey well-organized report series certainly has whetted the appetite! :-).

  12. Tamsin, great photos. The Burrows and Badgers was also (I believe) a random platypus game.

  13. Thanks for the pics Wargaming Girl. I love game pics from conventions, which we don't have any of in the Chuhuahuan desert.

  14. A pic for every game - wow, that's a bonkers amount of work. Thanks for this Tamsin, what a great photojournal of the day.
