This Sunday we went on tour to Northleach for the 2021 Cotswold wargames day organised by Keith Flint. KEITH'S WARGAMING BLOG: Cotswold Wargaming Day - Full Story and Pictures (keefsblog.blogspot.com)
Our decision to lay on a game was a little last minute so we mustered all our Renaissance gear something approximating the Siege of Vienna.
There was was some 25mm ancients featuring Republican Romans vs assorted Celts and Latins
A game of Sharpe Practice set in the French-Indian wars and featuring some hand sculped figures from Big Dave
A very large Napoleonic game (French vs Prussians) with big units of 36figs each
A 20mm ACW game with an attack on a train depot
WWII squad-level action
Some 1960s armour involving the Israelis vs Egyptians (I think)
And finally some micro gaming in 6mm on a dining room sized table
All in all a nice introduction back into the show scene. The lack of traders / B&B meant a nice focus on wandering about and chatting to the other gamers. The main topic - what type of gaming mat do you use as no two were the same!
I was there as a visitor for around 90 minutes and enjoyed all of the tables. I was struck by how friendly everyone was. I agree that the lack of trade allowed a better focus on the game tables.
