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).

Colours 2019 - The Games

As promised yesterday, here are the pics I took of the various games at Colours 2019. There was one game - the Ministry of Gentlemanly warfare's "Thud and Blunder" - which I didn't take pics of as it was the vary same one that was at Partizan the other week. OK, you could say the same about the "To The Strongest" Mancetter game and it would be a "fair cop, guv'nor!" - I simply forgot to take photos of it.

On with the pics...

A rather poorly lit photo of the competition gaming area. I believe it was an Infinity tournament.



Boscombe Down & Amesbury - Ducks & Dwarves




Maidenhead Reapers - 28mm WW2 Tanks



South London Warlords - Dark Side Of The Moon






Not sure who, not sure what
(possibly Wessex Wyverns - 15mm Vietnam?)



Deeprose - Battle of Gabienne





Penarth & District Wargames Society - 40mm AWI Skirmish





Naval Wargames Society - Stingray





Wings of Glory Aerodrome - WW1 Aerial Combat




Friends of Rapid Fire - Sainte Mere Eglise Counter-Attack





Tring Wargames Club - WW1 Naval Combat



Contact Front - Operation Enduring Freedom




Grand Tactical Rules - 6mm Solferino





Liverpool Wargames Club - 15mm Imjin War


This was the club I mentioned yesterday who were asked late in the day if they could put on a game after all. They did a good job of putting together this one (including making some terrain) in just a few days and were very happy to chat to me about it.

Simon Miller - To The Strongest - Mancetter



Soutbourne Tabletop and Boardgamers - Aliens vs Brexit




South London Warlords - Antietam/Sharpsburg

This was a small demo/participation game alongside their stall
