Claymore

 Went to the Claymore show yesterday with a friend. The day always begins with breakfast and ends with a family bbq with his children and grandchildren and my daughters attending. As ever it was great to catch up with folk. The weather allowed us to sit out under gazebos until nightfall which was not what the forecast promised as we followed it in the days before.

Claymore seemed to have a few empty spaces in terms of games and traders. Some notable absences were The Last Valley and Caliver Books. A few games caught my eye-

A Game of Thrones game , which I know nothing about as a theme. The table was spectacular and the walled city, in 28mm was simply stunning!

This naval battle betwixt Egyptians and Sea People caught my eye with massed ships and simple and effective terrain. Each boat was crammed with crew and warriors ( 10mm figures?) which really added to the look of it all.

The atrium at Edinburgh College where much was on display.

An excellent  small battle from the Wars of Mary Queen of Scots. The battle had been researched by the players who put on a game using 28mm figures. I liked the terrain and the way conquistador figures and late 15th century ones were utilised in this display.

A mid eighteenth century battle in 28mm with a stunningly castle, wonder who makes it? 

Bought one thing at the show-

A relatively rare book at an excellent price.

Here reunited with volume two back at my house which I bought a few years ago. A grand day out indeed!
