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, 

Newark Air Museum

  We are in Nottinghamshire for the weekend to attend Partizan, so visits to various museums in the area is always on the cards. First up was Newark Air Museum, what a great space and some excellent predominately modern aircraft display. The shop was also well stocked with kits at a very reasonable prices. 

Cheers
