Broadsword Show Sittingbourne


   The second year of the Broadsword WargameShow at Sittingbourne, North Kent, the next town down the estuary from Rainham, and it was more successful than ever. I met many of the people I have played wargames with over the last thirty years and had a gossip, which was great. The above photo shows models from the radio control people.

The Age of Kings.


Small scale British airborne landing. The Rhine?

  2. The airborne landing is Pegasus bridge. I only caught it at Salute in its early stages when nothing much was happening but it won best demo game there and best game at this show I believe.

    Oh, it was. These local shows have some serious advantages over the big ones.
