Vapnartak 2026

I visited Vapa as a punter for once not as a demonstrator as I was in transit. I usually enjoy the show, but I was underwhelmed. There were very few demonstration or participation games unlike the past so very little inspiration was on offer. It was also the first show I have been to where I have left with zero purchases, nobody stocked Vallejo or the Javis scatter I use (there are usually 2-3). So a brief set of pictures of the games

First off is Ken (Yarkshire Gamer) with his splendid game of Germantown 1776.

A Battlegroup Northag game

The Italian Wars fought using Midgard

Another AWI game from the Brompton Bankers using Rebels & Patriots

Something unusual the naval battle of Harodate 1869

Chariot racing, photogrphed during a lull in gaming
