"1st "Ai Carmela!" SCW Tournament" Topic

Last month, the town of Les Borges Blanques in western Catalonia hosted the 4th edition of its promising Modelism and Wargames Fair. We at Minairons Miniatures not only attended to it, but eagerly co-operated with FOWTarna club to organize a wargaming event therein, that was christened as 1st "Ai Carmela!" SCW tournament. The picture below shows the participants chatting with the Mayor of Les Borges Blanques and a representative of the Government of Catalonia, who took an interest in being explained the core concept of wargaming.

Despite its name suggesting a competition, the event itself wasn't conceived as a true tournament with a competitive setup or a final ranking. Instead, we preferred to use it as an introductory to Spanish Civil War wargaming, with the aim to attract potential gamers to this particular setting. So tournament was organized around two different kinds of scenario, with a separate army list for each contender as normal, but also a common reserve pool including air support, long range artillery or armoured reserves that had to be dealt and shared among players belonging to the same side.

For those curious, I've just posted a thread on Minairons blog explaining a little more on the event. Also, FOWTarna has a complete slide show here.

Cheers,

That looks like a lot of fun. Looks like a variety of miniatures too.

Thanks Lluis!

Some of the participants brought their own miniatures – but forecasting that some might not have got introduced into 20mm gaming yet, the organizers provided a wide collection too, just for case.

Yes it means a lot of stuff of my own collection on tabletop

Were the Legion yours? They looked good out there.

Nice set of pics………might have to plan a weekend 'up north' for the next one!

If meaning "of my own collection", yes Primalucem they're mine. Otherwise, if meaning "who made them", they aren't from Minairons but soft plastics from B.U.M.. These are nice indeed minis, although we're committed at beating them in white metal.

Worth to be noted that there were on tabletops figures and models from several makes: Bandera/HPC, Irregular, Barcino, diecast vehicles, Pegasus, UniModels and PST hard plastic kits and some else I can't remember, besides of the two brands above.
