Tin Soldiers of Antwerp: Free Crisis 2016 Convention Only - Queen Maud Miniature


Tin Soldiers of Antwerp previewed this years' free miniature for the first 1500 visitors of Crisis, the largest one-day wargame convention of the European mainland!

Less than 2 months from now, it's Crisis again. This year's team is the 950th aniversary of the battle of Hastings. As always for the free figure (for the first 1500 through the door) has a Belgian/Flemish link. We found this in the person of queen Maud, wife of William the Conquerer (or the bastard if you prefer) Anyway Mss Bastard was born as Matilde of Flanders, daughter of the earl of Flanders hence the large contingent of Flemish soldiers who joined William in his excursion accross the channel.

Crisis is at the well known location at the riverside in a historic (and unique) warehouse that houses some 120 traders and more than 60 games from an international pedigree. Doors open at 10.00 till 17.00, ticket to get in 12 euro (or 20 euro if you also prefer some drink and/or food tickets as well) Everyone receives a goodie bag, do not forget to check for a golden ticket from KR which entitles you to a free case.Many of the traders have sponsored so everybody gets something. Date: Saturday 5 november
