VAPNARTAK 2016 YORK

I went with Falkirk Wargames Club to Vapnartak at York on Sunday. An enjoyable day but it is long coach trip. Met lots of friends at my first show of the year. Here are photos from 3 of the games - Battle of Prestonpans 1715, the Alamo and the Siege of Bokhara in the Russian Civil War.

  5. You've chosen three of the best games to depict that were on display Bill.

    I don't know if you're been to Vappa before or not (I see you chaps at so many shows it's hard to remember!) but, not taking anything away from some of the brilliant games that were on display, I thought that the overall quality of the games was down a little t5his year- what do you think?

      I thought the best displays this year were better than last year. Not sure about the overall quality.
