One thing that really amazed me was the quantities of old aircraft kits on sale and I almost got tempted by an old Airfix Ju88 for the SOTCW game at Gauntlet this year. The other was the low prices for quite reasonable 20mm tanks on the B&B.

South Cheshire Militaire
Rather than the usual biweekly boardgaming I popped down to Crewe to the military modelling show there called South Cheshire Militaire. I hadn't been for quite a number of years ten perhaps and the show is now certainly a lot bigger than it was with every scrap of space being used so it was probably as large a show as Phalanx, but no wargames. Of course being military modelling it is dominated by 1/35 scale , but there was a number of interesting small scale items on display. I picked a few bits a couple of 37mm armed Panzer IIIs, a Revell CR42 Falco (East Africa WW2 again!) and a Lindberg Landing Ship Infantry, which turns out to be 1/160 scale so I think it will be back on sale soon (Although that is around 10mm I expect it could be used for 15mm games).

There are so many new aircraft kits on the market many older originals from the 60's,70's and 80's are going for good prices Modelzone now selling off Revell SE5's and DVII for £1.99 each. went to cavalier in Tonbridge Kent excellent wargames show write up on blog, this weekend is Trucks & Tracks at Folkestone another good show but darn't risk the wallet there!!
Thanks, I've already succumbed to the temptation of more aircraft in the Modelzone sale
Thats absolutely Great
I really Enjoyed this game.War Games are designed to test the player’s strategic thinking and tactical skills. Your kid would enjoy fighting a battle using arms and armies in strategic ways
