Phalanx 2025

A big day for the Beacon Club as we had two games at the show, Dave & Owen's Post D-Day bash and Si's battle of Arsuf put on for the Lance & Longbow Society. So to start here is Si's version of Arsuf 1191 AD Richard the Lionheart's victory over Saladin.

Ready for the off, with Saladin catching Richard on the march.

Mid point of the first game with the Crusaders under pressure

We managed to play two games over the days with Richard just managing to win both.

Now onto Dave and Owen's game which won best in show

Well done guys

Now other things that caught my eye, like these well painted crusaders and saracens by the LWA

Our neighbouring game was the Italian Wars

A nice looking WW2 jungle game

Fuentes de Oñoro 1810

WW2 action in Greece 1941 with Rapid Fire

Sassanid and Byzantine

My limited booty, the Dewotine will become a Vichy version and the two Panzer 38(t)'s will replace a plan to print a few more. The 28mm Hoplites was very much an impulse buy to go with my gangs of Rome, but couldn't be passed up at £5 for 34 figures, the Krupp Protz will just go in the stash for now.

Overall a great day out with not too far to travel
