Autumn Skirmish

September has come around again and for me that means a quick trip across the river to Sidcup and the Skirmish Toy Soldier Show. The show was a bit subdued this time around partly due to the loss Harfields Military Figures (the previous sponsors) which has retired. The new sponsors Redcoat Models did a good job of organising the show but somehow managed to choose the same weekend as Colours for their event. The result is that some regular traders and many visitors were noticeable absent. I hope this is a one off and the next show in March sees this excellent little event return to normal and continue to thrive.

As usual I took a 'few' photo's and here is a selection of the games seen at this show.

I liked their dice holders. I have been considering making something similar so its nice to see it works!

    1. Your welcome. Some good games on display made up for the poor showing with the traders this time around.

Thank you for leaving a comment. I always try to reply as soon as I can, so why not pop back later and continue the conversation. In the meantime, keep rolling high!
