Crisis?


No not the economical crisis,...

Today, I visited the wargameconvention "crisis" held in Antwerp organised by the members of the tin soldiers of Antwerp. This crisis was my second crisis so far and I hope that they may last forever :p

Again a lot of stands and demogames but unfortunaly I forgot mycamera so I wasn't able to take some pictures. But don't worry be happy, I've saw a lot of people with big professionnal cameras so there will be photographs enough soon on different websites!

Impression

- I though there were less stands but I wasn't sure
- Friendly people positionned at the income (almost fighting for clients :p)
- Just love the bring and buy and the new system they use +++
- Nice tables, really awesome!
- And lots more,...
- Just a must for wargamer who live in Europe :p

My personal top 3 gametables,

1) "Welcome to Tsingtoa" presented by THIS (team for historical simulations)

A very nice and big wargametable with lots of chinese houses, ambassey, large warship, zepplins, really the most cool table of the convention (personal opinion)

Their site (www.ths-wargames.de)

2) An 28mm vietnam-table, lots of jungle and nice Huey's! Really worth seeing!

creators: unknown (help is usefull :p)

3) A vampire gametable, totally painted grey! really nice was ment to represent a 1922 vampire movie with F.W Murnau and was totally awesome even breathtaking, nice quayfeature with a docked ship,...
