Billy's Success in Dumfries

Billy took his American Civil War to Dumfries for the Albanich show.  I couldn't make it myself, but I promised to post the photos:
Setting up.
The terrain looks as though it's all in place.
A full table shot, with Billy looking regal.
One of the action close-ups.  Billy did the whole lot himself: figures, terrain tiles and scenery.
Another action shot.  They seem to like fighting over bridges in this war...
Up close and personal, this time!
A well deserved best in show, being inspected by one of the little metal participants.
And also by the players.  From the left as you look at it: Graham, Billy, Roy and Bill.
And, to finish, a gratuitous shot of a WWII beach scene.  I'm not sure of this was another game at the show, or a photo of some of Billy's other stuff, but it looks good anyway.

Quick edit: Willie told me on the phone that the WWII game was one of the other lovely ones at the show - by folks from Cumbria, I think.

  2. I was there with the Falkirk lads - I must say the game looked great and was a worthy winner of best in show

    1. Hi David, it's looking as though this will be the game we bring to Carronade this year. My work is full on so I can't realistically commit to another ancients game. besides, it's somebody else's turn for a change!

  6. Hi Brian, good to hear from you. I'll make sure to look in on you at Falkirk, then - sounds intriguing.
