A message from Simon White:- I've uploaded some piccies of the NWS game from todays show. link A full write up will appear in AGB in due course but suffice to say the game played out well and was well received, so much so in fact that blow me down if we didn't pick up the show award for most innovative game. Thanks to everyone who helped out today and especially to Rob Hutton for all the super job building Tirpitz. |

Pity I can't access your link.
I would have liked to have seen pictures of your "innovative" game, which (according to the descriptions by other show visitors, on the other thread), sounds very similar to a "X-Craft versus the Tirpitz" game which the RAF Leuchars Wargamers won the show with at Claymore in Edinburgh, August 1989.
We used an innovative approach, with "tethered" mines, a perspex "surface" in which the Tirpitz was suspended (and from which the nets were suspended).
The X-craft were scratch-built, but the ship was a large scale kit. |

Sorry, I didn't notice that it was a link to the yahoo group – my bad. I'm afraid I didn't make it to the show as I was stuck in Idaho at the time :( As far as i know from Simon's conversations earlier nothing was suspended. |

The Tirpitz game was a brilliant concept and very pretty!! |

Pity I can't access your link. Not only do you have to have a Yahoo account to access the group, you then have to sign up to the group before you can see the pics. It's hard to think how they could have made it any more discouraging for people who just have a casual interest in seeing some pics of the game/. |

Jed there was I problem with it. I never got the chance to play it,because it was packed all day:) |

To which Jed do you refer?
The once-handsome chap who is now in his dribbling dotage at Leuchars, or the other chap with the unfeasibly long nickname? |
