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).

The Other Partizan 2019 - The Games

This is going to be quite a photo-heavy post, for which I make no apologies. Just as a reminder, I did not take photos of all of the games, just the ones that grabbed my attention as I went round the show.


The two Partizan shows break their games down into distinct areas - participation games and demonstration games (although some of the latter were participation games). There is definitely a lot of encouragement from the organisers for people to put on participation games, which is definitely a good thing in my opinion.


Participation Games


RAF Cranwell Wargames Club - 28mm WW2 - Arnhem We Came By Glider



And a smaller game they had using wooden clothes peg models:



Harrogate Wargames Club 28mm - Romano-British - Infamy Infamy




Lancaster Wargames Society - 28mm Napoleonic - The Forgotten Stronghold




Too Fat Lardies - 28mm WW2 - Holland




Like A Stonewall Wargames Group - 20mm WW2 - The USMC attack on Pelelui airfield 1944







Peterborough Wargames Club - 15mm WW2 - Bloody Omaha




Ribble Warriors - Blood and Plunder - 28mm Pirates






Demonstration Games


1st Corps - 28mm WW2 - Arnhem Breakout






Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare - 28mm Fantasy - The Valley of Death



Barnsley Association of Wargamers - 28mm VBCW - The Trumpton Riots








Boondock Sayntes - 28mm Afghanistan 1919 - De Havilland Down




 



Forest Outlaws - 15mm WW2 - Battle of Breville 1944




Victorious Miniatures - Boxer Rebellion - 55 Minutes in Peking






Iron Brigade - 28mm Sudan




Mr Simon Miller and Friends - 54mm English Civil War




 

The Spilsby Clubmen - 28mm WW2 Western Desert






Derby Wargames Society - 28mm Williamite Wars in Ireland





Forest of Dean Gamers - North Africa 1941 Chain of Command





Leicester Phat Cats - Blood and Plunder - 28mm Pirates





League of Augsburg?







Mr Steve Jones - 28mm American War of Independence





Very British Parlour Forum - 28mm VBCW - The Six Five Special Over the Points





Mr Simon Miller - 28mm Ancients - The Battle of Mancetter 61AD





The table at the end of my game (we only played the centre commands)



One thing I did notice was the preponderance of games using Too Fat Lardies rules - there were several games of Chain of Command, a couple of I Ain't Been Shot Mum and a couple of Sharpe Practice (one of them an Ancients variant). There may have been others as I didn't always notice the rules in play.

  10. Excellent picture report Tamsin. This is definitely a show to put on my wish list for next year. I tend to be a bit (ie exclusively) southern-centric in my choice of shows and really need to push the boat out a little in future.

  11. @ Curt - you're welcome :)

    @ Big Lee - cheers! You'd enjoy either of the two Partizan shows. There's also an air museum just along the road :)

  12. Thanks for making the effort to share the pictures. It can be a long time between games for me, so getting to share shows, AAR and other people's thoughts and interests is one of the best ways to stay engaged with my hobby.

    Otherwise, I'd just be another sad old git painting toy soldiers in isolation. Oh, right, that as well.
