Crisis!

Hi, here's a post about my adventures on the largest wargame convention on the European mainland! The event is organised by the Tin Soldiers of Antwerp and is for me the only opportunity to buy figures and materials without postage or on a B&B.

As usual the convention place was quite packed with stands and eager wargamers causing a rather high temperature in the mainhall. But that don't spoil the fun! Tables of which many can be seen on the LAF and other forums were simply breathtaking. Such as the Quiberon allied invasion game with a stunning fortified village as the strongpoint of the German resistance and the game in which superb painted swedish are attacking a russian stronghold fortified with cannons and lots of gabions! The WWI table was also stunning! Awesome tanks and figures tight together by a nice table.

Off course I already forgot the names and many others of cool games!

The B&B wasn't much this year due to a reorganisation of the system and the lack of sellers but I managed to buy some Esci WWII British. Other things I bought were some foundry darkest africa figures such as porters, a victorian style lady and a mule! I also bought some Ironclad boarding party members (4) when painted they will serve on a aeronef or landship! And the last thing I bought! Some Japanese AT guns from Waterloo 1815!

All together an awesome 3th edition of Crisis for me in person!

Greets,
