Sunday saw seven of The Rejects turn up at the Cavalier Wargames show in Tonbridge. I had a great time at this years show and came away with some bargains, which is always good. The morning session was very busy with lots of gamers passing through the doors, although it did tail off significantly after lunch. As stated yesterday I didn't take as many pictures this year, mainly because I spent a significant portion of the day talking to friends old and new and saying hello to fellow Bloggers. It was really good to meet up with the likes of David Crook, Bob Cordery, John Lambshead and Clint to name but a few.
Anyway, here is a selection of pictures I took at the show. There are a few more here if you are interested.

I was sad to hear that Ray and Postie had some models nicked from the Bring and Buy stall. The problem it that pretty much every B&B I have ever seen is usually three or four deep in potential customers and it must be nigh on impossible for the people 'staffing' the stall to watch everything. That doesn't make it right of course, cos someone decided they would steal £40 worth of models. So if you come across a unit of twelve 25mm Napoleonic 5th/60th Royal American Rifles up for sale anywhere please contact Ray as they may be his stolen figures.
I think the moral of this is that the Bring and Buy is about bargains and if you have something worthwhile (and valuable) to sell you're probably better off doing it on eBay or through the marketplace pages on TMP. At least that way you have a little more control over the process.
Nice pics thanks for posting them, look forward to seeing the haul make an appearance.
ReplyDeleteNice one Lee. Good pics of a good day even if you did have to cross flowing water to get there.
ReplyDeleteThe myth that us Vampires can't cross moving water is completely inaccurate...
DeleteGreat pictures Lee. Some high class stuff there (especially the Denmark and Belgium scenarios).
ReplyDeleteNice one Lee! I liked the VBFW game, very impressive!!
ReplyDeleteHi Lee,
ReplyDeletesome very nice pics. Thanks for sharing them.
Cheers
Monty
Thanks for the pictures Lee.
ReplyDeleteNice pics and I was supposed to go to this show but Military got in the way as usual. Bloody awful news about the B&B theft, hope the scumbag is caught.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, but the chances are slim. Unless they do something incredibly stupid like try to sell them on eBay the chances of the stolen goods being 'found' is small.
DeleteGreat pics, looking forward to the results of the new desert campaign swag. Too bad about Ray's figures, my blood pressure is coming back down but that kind of thing rally chaps my hide so to speak.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics from looks like a decent show. Pity about the theiving
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice sized event to kick off the year. I was there at ten when it opened and left about two thirty, and that was stretching it out a bit. Yeh, thieving from fellow gamers is pretty low, but there are people like that in any community unfortunately. Its a life lesson and something to remember next time Ray is tempted to sell on the B&B.
DeleteThe Deal Denmark game really looks good Ray!
ReplyDeleteLee sorry senior moment after seeing Rays pic!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs Lee, a Very French Civil War looks particularly engaging.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pics Lee. Like the 'Siege' game. Mini-figs yeah!
