I have compiled a short report and some photos from today's WMMS show in Wolverhampton. Yes, the fire alarm did go off again :) link |

Thanks, David. Beautiful tables with lots of eye candy. Thanks for including a photo of the vignette of the artist/painter which appears to be on the ECW game. |

Some great looking games – thanks for the photos – excellent. It looks to be quite quiet as regards numbers attending. Is that a fair assessment? Doug |

Despite the aformentioned fire alarm this years Show went off as smoothly as possible. Despite the attraction of a warm Spring day attendance was identical to 2015 with close on 700 passing through the door. There were a lot more families attending this year. This certainly kept the participation games going well into the afternoon. Aldersley is one of the largest halls in the Midlands (around 2,500 sqiuare meters I'm told) so we can afford to give games and displays plenty of elbow room. |

Thanks for the pics & write up. For what it's worth, I rather enjoyed the show until the fire alarm, at which point I left. It really was far too nice a day to be inside. I had intended making a few more purchases but will wait for Salute. In particular the standard of games on show this year was really very good. It's nice to see people making an effort rather than using a game as a premise to get into the show for free. The mix of traders is also well thought out & it was interesting to see one or two of the big names return. WMSS seems to be on the up! |

Nice pictures, especially as I'm on the first! Good show with some fine games I thought! |

Another good show and I managed to pick up some booty too. Had a nice chat with Carl Brown from Second Thunder and picked up his Open Combat rules. WMMS wouldn't be the same without the fire alarm. |

A good show in many ways. I met some old friends there. One of those was David Manley. The modelling display is always good to see, as it gives some good ideas for vehicles. Some one brought along a full size model jeep (tamiya?). very realistic. martin
