I've Been To: Broadside 2018

It's a couple of years since I last popped down to Sittingbourne for Broadside, so it was about time I paid another visit. There were also a couple of things I wanted to buy from traders who'd be there which would save me some postage.

I got there just before 11am and after a quick chat with Clint did a tour of the game tables to take pics, stopping for a chat with a few people along the way. And then I did a tour of the traders.

Pics of games:

Echidna Games - Laserblade

Gaslands

Emotionally 14 - Heroclix

Uncon Tabletop Convention - various boardgames

Spanish Skies - SCW Air Combat

Spanish Skies - SCW Air Combat

Da Gobbo Grotto - chariot racing

Maidstone Wargames Sociery - Raid on Zeebrugge

Medway Games Society - Star Wars Legion
Skirmish Wargames - By Crom!



Deal Wargames Society - "The Grass Is Always Greener"

The horror! The horror!

Postie's Rejects - Marchais-en-Brie 1914

The horrors! The horrors!

Gravesend Gamers Guild - The Walking Lego

Gangs of Rome

Paranoid Games - Mythos

?????

Friday Night Fire Fight Club - Reign Of Fire

Shepway Wargames Club - Battle of Bure, January 1945

SEEMS - Surprise at Lanchlon II (Battlefleet Gothic)
It appears that I didn't take pics of the game from Milton Hundreds Wargames Club and possibly the one from Valhalla Wargames Society (unless that's the one captioned "?????") - I must have been distracted. Possibly by some of Clint's fudge.

I ended up leaving just after 1pm, having seen all the games, bought all the things and talked to all the people (OK, some of the things, some of the people).

Which means it must be time for the loot pics:


20mm bulding(s) from Blotz for Gaslands

Nice price markdown from PE2 Collectables

Decals for Gaslands

Leopard 2A5 against a Hotwheels for size - I think it'll work for Gaslands!
The savings I made on postage and on those Bolt Action bits more than covered the cost of my train fare down to Kent, so I'm a happy bunny.

    Hi Tamsin, the chariot racing was actually my game, not Milton Hundred club

    @ Martin - cheers! :)

    @ Michael A - I did thanks! :)

    @ Mike C - it was, even if I spent twice as long travelling as I did at the show :)
    As for my captioning of the games, I was going from the floorplan, which was (mostly) correct :)

    @ Simon Q - cheers! :)

    @ Ray - quite appropriate I thought! ;)

    @ Andy - apologies, I was going by the floorplan :)

    @ Carl - cheers! :)

    @ Miles - it was pleasant :)

    @ Fraxinus - apparently the attendance was slightly up, so maybe there was a constant churn of people leaving and arriving which made it seem lower? Lee's a nice chap, despite my caption :)

    @ Curt - those weren't on my shopping list, but I had to buy them :)

    @ Lee - and good to see you too :)
