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).

    Some very excellent games on display! I still struggle with the whole participation / non participation game issue thats seems to be a UK thing. Any conventions I've attended here in North America are all player sign up games to participate in. They are usually run by companies, groups, or individuals. Looks to have been a great outing!

    @ Herkybird - you're welcome! :)

    @ Dave - cheers! :)

    @ John - it's a mere drop in the ocean compared to some shows. :)

    @ Norm - it is good that shows are going on again now. :)

    @ Terry - I suspect the reason for the difference is that in the UK everyone is much closer geographically and we have clubs very local
    to most people so when we attend shows there is less desire to actually play games, whereas in the US for some/many it is only at shows that they get to play with other people. :)

    @ Ray - thanks! :)

    @ Simon - Some were, most weren't. The venue didn't require it, nor did the organisers. It was very well ventilated and spacious, so the risks were low.

    Did you get to play in anything or were you more focused on taking pictures - which you did quite well. More importantly did you have a good time?

    @ Willz - cheers! Glad you liked my photo report! :)

    @ Jerry - sadly, no - all the participation games I was interested in were full up whenever I passed by. I did have a good time! :)
