Andy and I spent a full day at Colours today at Newbury Racecourse. Always a good show - three floors of traders and both demonstration and participation games, plus an extra building alongside this year. The Bring & Buy remains a bit of a disappointment (long queue to check in stuff, and not enough tables to show what's for sale) but the rest of the show is great.
Highlights for me included a Battle for Kursk game with superb ruined buildings and this railway shed...
...and locomotive.
There was also a nicely-presented winter game:
A very delicately painted cloth forming the landscape for a 6mm game:
And a big Viking game:
...with a very impressive Viking longhouse:
Andy and I spent a happy hour playing Wings of Glory (the new name for Wings of War) in a participation game using four detailed aerial views. I think I'd just got two hits on Andy's plane here:
Andy picked up two engine fires (quite impressive with only one engine - and well-represented using pipe cleaners) but we eventually managed to take each others' plane out simultaneously to finish the game.
