Firstly. apologies - had camera difficulties, so no pictures. But Me and 'He' - aka First Nephew, took a drive to Falkirk for Carronade 2017.
I have to admit a certain fondness for Carronade. It is the first UK wargames show I visited when I got back (last year), it's large but not impersonal, great traders - big shout out as always to Warbases, and also to Lancashire Games, top blokes. When freedom comes a) 'don't piss in the water supply' (Alex Harvey), and b) I reckon we should ask for the border for the Scottish Soviet Peoples Republic to be about as far south as Manchester... good people.
Ok, so the flea market.. 3 painted and based Irregular Viking longships - 1 squid, 3 sets of 1900 French legionnaire, tirallieur, 12 mounted Chasseurs Afrique, a Nordenfelt gun and a dozen naughty Arabs = 9 squids... bargains! No idea what I will use them for, but can't resist at that price.
Then Renedra fences, an 'American Church' by Perry, and enough to do an AWI 16th Dragoons unit for Sharp Practice.
Good fun, and special nephew got all his 15mm Team Yankee East Germans... now I need to source some 15mm Danes circa 1985... I get to see how Centurions do vs T55.
Yes it was a great event.
