Crisis 2019 presumably took place in Antwerp today – apparently the biggest convention in mainland Europe. I was genuinely considering attending for the first time this year but in the end couldn't justify £200.00 GBP+ before I started shopping. Strange that it doesn't seem to have merited a mention on TMP?

The TSA guys are very focussed on running the show efficiently. It is a big show and takes a lot of effort and administration. They do it very well.

There will be someone along on YouTube with a short video in due course.

I've been half a dozen times over the last ten years, great weekend, you get to see a bit of Antwerp and drink some of the fantastic Belgian beer.

So far, I have seen some pictures of specific game on Twitter. As a previous poster observed, the Tin Soldiers are sure to post a full report soon.

1) Aside from a number of ubiquitous UK traders, Crisis offers traders from mainland Europe, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain.

2) Crisis has a fair number of UK visitors who make it a holiday. Visit places like Waterloo or Ypres. Enjoy a day in Bruges or visit Antwerp and shop around for everything Belgium has to offer in those luxuries that makes life worth living.

3) It's a huge wargaming show, do you need any more reasons really ???

Crisis is a great show and well worth the investment.

Well, though on the contrary to other years I only managed to do a "light" version of a show report this time, here it is

No YouTube walkthrough this time though I'm afraid, as my video camera is already packed up for moving places next weekend (and hence the reason of my short on the show run around, basically just shopping as I was in the BnB most of the day for selling our older editions limited edition figures).

Alas I was about 50 miles from the show on Friday. If life had been kinder I would have stayed over an extra day, gone to the show and flown back Saturday night. Maybe next year….

I was there all day yesterday. No photographs. Fantastic show as always but the numbers seemed to be down a bit. It was much easier to move around. Didn't spend much money this year.

Either everyone's being very polite and keeping out of shot or else attendance isn't what Id been led to believe….quiet!!!

Watching a YouTube video of the event, I too was surprised at the apparently low numbers milling around the stalls and games?
