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.

| 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.
Looks like a good show.
ReplyDeleteSome great looking games there. The TtS in particular looks good.

@ Simon Q - cheers! It's certainly a nice show, but not so little unless Salute is your comparator! :)
@ Martin C - lol :)
Thanks for the photo retrospective Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteExcellent 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.
ReplyDelete@ Curt - you're welcome :)
ReplyDelete@ Big Lee - cheers! You'd enjoy either of the two Partizan shows. There's also an air museum just along the road :)
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.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, I'd just be another sad old git painting toy soldiers in isolation. Oh, right, that as well.
