This
weekend I travelled to the Targe 2017 show held at Webster’s High School Kirriemuir
by the Kirriemuir Wargames club. As for
the past 2 years I was one of the judges for the display games and the painting
competition.
The
best display game was the Contemptible B’s First Carlist War game with its great looking terrain and figures and the best
PP game was East Neuk’s unusual Iraq 1941 game. Overall
it was an enjoyable show and my only buy was 2 unpainted Spanish Battalions
from Eagle figures for my Napoleonic Peninsular War collection. A few of my show photos are below. All of them are on Flickr at:

ReplyDeleteGood pictures Bill.
ReplyDeleteWas it as quiet a show as I heard it to be?
Sorry I couldn't be there, a wee bit outside my journeying distance at the moment.
I thought it was as busy as previous years. The paid entries were up this year on last year. All in all it was a good show.
DeleteAye a really great day. Well done more pics on our Web page if requiem. Hogs...
