Carronade 2025

 I went with friends to the Falkirk show yesterday. The sun was shining and I enjoyed the bus ride through and wee walk to the show once in Falkirk. It was good to see old friends and catch up with them. I had some interesting chats with folk putting on games as well as the sadly usual experience of taking an interest in a game, standing there and being completely ignored.

I enjoyed talking to some folk putting on a WOTR battle who were very chatty , interesting and interested too. Also had a good chat with the “ Test of Resolve “ rules folks about why they haven’t done the Burgundian Wars yet, not to mention Burgundy v France or the Holy Roman Empire. It was a good exchange of views and I do hope they will embrace this fascinating late 15th century area of fighting.

As ever the Westerhope chaps were chatty, informed and engaging. They are such a breath of fresh air. I took pictures of their game-

Only one purchase was made - four small canoes and two large canoes , with crews, in 28mm for only a tenner! Delighted with my bargain.

Back to a friend’s for lunch then a train ride home in time for the Virtual Wargames Club. A grand day out.
