Planned for November 7th this year, but due to the current Covid 19 situation impossible to plan and prepare for. We have no idea how long the lockdown will still continue in Belgium as well as in other countries, and not even if all borders will be open. Most importantly we don't know yet what exactly will be the course of this pandemic. There might be a second, and even third wave and the very last thing we want to do is endanger anyone, especially as so many of 'our' visitors, traders and club-members have over the last 22 years, become friends. And friends are perhaps the single most precious commodity in this world. Obviously large scale events, with thousands of visitors, will be the last thing back on-line. And rightly so. Therefore, regretfully we have to cancel the event and hope to see you all- in good health- at Crisis 2021 scheduled for November 6th. |

A wise precaution, I only hope a miracle happens and Sars Covid-19 burns out over summer,so we can begin to plan such happy events again before 2021! |

A tough decision especially 7 months out. I am devestated though. Life has just lost its meaning. It was the one thing that was keeping me going through the lockdown. I will never forgive you for this – well not until November 2021 anyway. |

I complement the Tin Soldiers for making this decision. The health and well being of all of those involved in making Crisis the event that has become is more important than the show itself. Let's hope that we can all meet next year at either Salute or Crisis or perhaps both. |

Sad, but makes sense, really. A pity the other current crisis can't be so easily cancelled as well. |

Sad, but a logical decision. |

This makes me sad because it's the only wargames convention I go to, and I get really excited about it every year. But the decision is entirely understandable and no doubt the right one. Thanks Willie for everything you and your team do, and I'll look forward to the 2021 event even more than normal. |

That's sad news. I was hoping, unrealistically, that Crisis might be the one show that I would manage to get to this year. |

So sorry. But a great decision. Stay healthy over there in our neighborhood. Best greetings from Germany. |

The right decision – but must have been tough. Next year ! |

One day Willie I will get there. Good luck and stay safe. John BRUCE |
