Hi,
last weekend my friends Franz, Walter, Bernd and I made a trip to Hamburg to visit the TabletopConvention "Tactica".
It always has very nice gaming tables there and interesting workshops for painting and of corse a lot of things to buy.
Traditionally the first day is very crowded. So we decided to leave the convention after about 4 hours to visit the Panzermuseum in Munster which is about 60kms to go. There is another post on my blog dealing with this excursion.
We came back on sunday to "Tactica" that was the better day for taking part in gaming, having a calm look on the things to buy. So saturday is always to get an overview and sunday is for chilled shopping tours. :)
Here are some impressions of the convention and also a link to YouTube.
Cheers
Mike
