This Saturday I went to Forfar to attend SKELP the Angus
Wargames Club’s annual show. SKELP is a
small show but It has all you expect from a show - demonstration and public
participation games, trade stands, a painting competition (with trophies and
prizes), a bring and buy sale, raffle, and catering.
Myself, Ray Neal and Tim Watson presented the Gothenburg
Gamers PP game which was my 75mm Wild West gunfight game using Playmobil
figures and scenery. It is 100% plastic
and nothing was painted!
There were some nice looking games at the show. It was a good enjoyable day meeting
fellow enthusiasts. The time went very
quickly for me speaking to people about the game and explaining the very
simplified version of Legends of the Old West rules that we were using to the
junior players and their parents. We got
thru 5 games at the show – a record I think for one of our PP games.
To make the day perfect we won the trophy for best PP game! Some photos of our game. All my photos from the show on flickr at
