SELWG - The Games

A bit of a photo-dump, but there should be pics of every game! Unfortunately, it seems that the floor plan in the show guide doesn't really match with the layout in reality, so some games I can't say who was running them,


Upstairs

Gravesend Gamers Guild:



 GLC Wargames - an ECW battle:



TWWS - I think this may have been an ECW game as well:


Shepway Wargamers - Heart of Darkness:




 Streatham & Tooting/Real Time Wargames - early Sudan:


Robert Dunlop & Sons - Great War Spearhead in 6mm:



Society of Ancients:




Downstairs

South London Warlords - Stingray! :





Une guerre civile très français (A Very French Civil War):



WW2 Pacific theatre - POW Rescue:


Watch out for the late night munchies!

Maidstone Wargames Society - James Bond-esque Alpine Skiing:


 Early C11th Skirmish:



The Crush The Kaiser chaps with their new Mexican Revolution rules "Hey Gringo!":




Napoleonic naval game in 10mm - the ships are MDF kits from Capitan and look great:




 First Crusade game:



Malifaux:


Saga:


 SEEMS - Battlefleet Gothic:


 Crawley Wargames - Stretcher Bearer:



Star Trek game:


Not sure who - 15mm Poor Bloody Infantry WW2 game:




ACW Ironclad game:


That fun little Agincourt game I took part in:


Near the end of the game I was in - I was out at this point
 

Simon Miller with an Athens v Sparta scrum using his "To The Strongest" rules:



Quatre Bras I think:
Edit: No it's not - it's Waterloo. I blame my overhearing one of them talking about the crossroads

  1. Like Ray's a full and comprehensive report. But what was your favourite game and why and what game (of any setting) would you like to see?

  10. @ Anne - cheers m'dear :)

    @ Clint - my favourite game? Hmmm. I'd say that my top three for the visual appeal were Heart of Darkness, Achtung! Gringo and the Very French Civil War ones.

    @ Francis - but of course ;)

    @ Zabadak - luckily, moving to the pop-up comments seems to have got rid of the spammers :)

    @ Silver Whistle - It's still a good show, but their publicity has been somewhat lacking for the past few years which may explain the falling turnout.

    @ Michael A - thank you :)

    @ Herkybird - it doesn't make things easy when the layout differs from the plan in the guide. Particularly when the guide just lists the club name without any description of the game :(

    @ Dannoc - it was a good range of games, but fewer than the last couple of times I was there :(

    @ Ray - the jaunty angle is a fashion thing, innit? ;)

    @ Millsy - you're welcome :)

    @ Whisk - the pizza box is something I've seen people use (also seen them using biscuit/cake tins) but normally they'll hide them away before the public turn up :)

  11. Just got your message and you made me laugh. Yes, the plotting will be so. Right after I wrote that post, I got an email from a friend who offered me her old desk that she doesn't need/use anymore.

    So cool.

    Anyway, thanks for making me laugh and have a great weekend.

  12. I couldn't get there this year so these pictures are great. Really like the Darkest Africa game with proper scale trees!
