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.

  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.
