Partizan 2023

 We drove across to Newark on Trent this weekend to visit Partizan Wargames Show. I was like a ten year old in a sweet shop with cash burning a hole in his pocket. Partizan has been on my list of Wargame shows to attend since my early days of wargaming. Very spectacular looking games were on display and the show was well attended. I met up with a number of people who I had been Facebook or an online friend for the last 25 odd years in one case. A huge amount of traders were in attendance and I made sure I had a very good look around and purchased a lot of minis and books to take back home to France.  

Ray Rousell, great to finally meet after 14 or more years chatting online! 


Another long time online mate Paul Barnett, his Rapid Fire 15mm Carentan table,is very impressive




Alan Sherward’s superb Arnhem Tables, they were spectacular, I have known Alan for 20 odd years online, yesterday first time we have spoken face to face





























To the Strongest mega game, thousands of beautiful figures 




Midgard, my wife loved the Viking mythology table 


Another of my favorites the ACW game 




A shot back up the hall hard to get a good photo 

Napoleonic lovely game this


The Entebbe 20mm RF game was superb,

    Great pictures Matt. That Arnhem game was my favourite, and the Midgard game was very well done as well, as were they all.
