Phew, we've made it through a long desolate empty winter to the first wargames show of the year, and for Posties Rejects that means Cavalier at Tonbridge in Kent. This is a relatively modest sized event but we never fail to enjoy the selection of Traders and Demo games on display. This year was no exception and offered us a chance to reaffirm old friendships, spend some cash, restock our dwindling supplies and indulge in some ill advised impulse buys!

| My Swag from Cavalier - Lots of MDF bases, glue paint and 'bits' for base dressing. Some 6mm ancients including Creatan Archers from Colonel Bills and a ten Selanite Warriors from Ironclad Miniatures. |
Bloody hell, you're eager!
ReplyDeleteI was annoyed that I couldn't make it...been in bed the past few days with a shi**er of a cold. Looks like it was a good show.
ReplyDeleteNice report lee. Also very nice to see you again. Nice Selanites! I just wish I had seen Ray's face when you bought them!
ReplyDeleteHe looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp...So I went and bought some more!!
DeleteGit!
DeleteAwesome looking show. Nice loot. cheers
ReplyDeleteLee, You'll need to update the titles. You have some pictures of Deal Wargames club playing WW2 Poland (IIRC - Trafik Jam) but you call them Crawley Wargames club. Otherwise a nice write up
ReplyDeleteOopskie... Labels amended! Thanks for the correction.
DeleteSounds like a fantastic event, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice enough show for a visit but it's just a bit far for us Scots.
ReplyDeleteBut we do go to the 'first' wargames show of the year and that is Vapnartak in York in February. Location is in the middle of the country but it does seem to be too far north for all you 'sutherners'.
At least we had a 'displaced ' scot attending on the day.
I live North of the Thames so I'd be OK going to York, but the rest of the Rejects are from Kent so they would probably need counselling before hearing that for north!
DeleteSo the great North/South divide lives on in the hobby.
DeleteI've got a nose bleed just typing this message to a Scot??
DeleteNice shots and a fine haul!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos as usual Lee and some nice swag. Sorry to have missed you but did bump into Ray
ReplyDeleteMy commiserations.
