Hi all,
the weekend has gone and we (Franz, Walter and I) had three days of real wellness for men including gaming, buying a lot of things for our hobby we (might) need some times, drinking beer, having fun, visiting the ArmyMuseum of Brussels and telling a few dirty jokes :)
On friday we started our tour to Antwerp there we got late in the evening.
The show on saturday showed us that the long trip was worth it.
A lot of traders and a lot of gaming tables.
Wow!
I would like to show you why the convention was "Wow!" but I forgot to check my camera.
So as I wanted to take the first photos the energy had been down.
Sh... Sorry for that.
I promise for better performance next time. ;)
But if you like to see some photos here is a link:
Today I took some photos of my treasures from CRISIS (after recharging that damned camera).
The first three pictures show the lots of terrain I got there.
In the centre you can see some streets that are very flexible.
As you can see I´ve bought a lot of palm trees, too.
These are just for my planned Japanese Army for OperationSquad.
The next picture shows the figures and paints I bought for that.
The book is from the museum´s store of the ArmyMuseum in Brussels.
And here the figures I bought for my favourite period, the SevenYearsWar, especially for the French&Indian War.
I couldn´t resist to buy some magazines, too.
And here is a picture of the figure every visitor got at the entrance.
A very nice miniature sculpted by Paul Hicks.
This had been a great weekend and we will be at CRISIS in 2013 for sure.
Cheers
Mike
Next year I will definately go....us bloggers need a meeting point though
ReplyDeleteWhat make are the palm trees?
Cheers
paul
That´s a great idea. Let´s meet at CRISIS next year. The TACTICA in Hamburg is also a good meeting point.
DeleteThe palm trees are made of plastic. They could need a little bit dry brushing but painting figures has priority. :)
Cheers
Mike
Looks like a great haul Mike! Get started on the FIW stuff so we can play! I've already get my first few Indians finished and posted.;-)
ReplyDeleteIs that a new Muskets and Tomahawk book?
Christopher
Hi Christopher,
DeleteI just have started with the Japanese for OperationSquad.
But I have to say that I want to start with the FIW-figures as soon as possible. The minis of GallopingMajor look also very good.
There is no new book of "Muskets&Tomahawk" in the rear of the one photo - it´s a box of figures :)
I will take it to our next date.
Mike
That's a nice stash

Hello Helen,
DeleteI will have fun with them for sure. :)
Cheers
Mike
tactica, salute, crisis. i want to visit one of these three and buy a lots of things!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou should visit the Tactica in Hamburg in February. It´s very nice even though the number of traders is not as huge as at the CRISIS. But the greater traders are the same (WarlordGames, MagisterMilitium, DaveThomas). And there are also some German companies that are not at CRISIS, but order a lot of good things I didn´t get in Antwerp but in Hamburg.
