| Ed Phillips' scratch built gun emplacements and cannon. These two now rest in the Randy F. collection, so I get to game with them from time to time in our group |

Here are some photos that I took of some of the games that took place on Saturday. Enjoy the pictures, and click on the pix to enlarge your view. There were many impressive looking games and I particularly liked the games that Jurgen hosted for the SYW in India. I have never seen such colorful looking armies.

ReplyDeleteGreat looking pictures, a very nice place...
ReplyDeletePhil.
Wow - what great pictures! We love 7YW (in 6mm though) and these are very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteWish I could have been there. Beautiful games.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time. Certainly some excellent terrain! Wish I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteGreat scenery, fun rules, good company and gracious host - Jim you always put on a top notch game - always a highlight of the convention. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose are some spectacular earthworks. Now you need to acquire more of them and lay siege to something.
ReplyDeleteRob: Randy Frye bought them. I had my chance, but I hemmed and hawed to long and he swooped in and bought them. The good news is that Randy is one of our regular group members, so I get to play with the works, but don't have to own them. :)

You're right - I too am shocked that I didn't comment on such a beefy post! Sadly this kind of thing happens to all of us though - some posts just get looked at and never commented on - dunno what to say really! Keep posting as you do and things will even out...

Having just discovered your blog and thereby having escaped censure allow me to seize the moral highground and cry: For shame gentlemen!
ReplyDeleteThis pictures are amazing I would love to get into the SYW in India, sings in the blood for some reason.
