The Rejects visited the SELWG show in their new home in North London last Sunday. Here are a few photos from the show.

There are more on my blog.

Thanks for those great pics. The magnifier button on your blog allowed me to zero in on specific units and get amazing detail!

Enjoyed these very much!

The one with the Bleriot monoplane is awesome.

Thanks for posting links to them here.

Nice pictures but I would have worn a mask.

That's a bit rude. I know wargamers aren't the prettiest but still!

Just read the UK headlines.

Jim, I would take the headlines with a pinch of salt.

They broadcast the whole of today's covid press briefing today. All the journalists asked basically the same question, obviously trying to get an answer they could use for a sensationalist article. The professor bloke gave basically the same answer each time – "the vaccine is doing its job, make sure you get your booster jab".

Look how the press caused the panic buying of petrol because of the crap they wrote…

…which reminds me – where did they find the fuel to nick the chip van?!!!

thanks for sharing those pics.
My favorite is the Mexican 1914 revolution; great presentation

Cerdic. Read what the people at the sharp end have been saying for the last two weeks and you'll find that it may be too late to stop the NHS being overwhelmed if something isn't done now.

Nice pictures. I went as well and really enjoyed it after not going to a show for several years. I felt it was just the right size in terms of traders and games. My colleague who is a NHS surgical nurse was not impressed at all by the lack of mask wearing or social distancing, especially given the average age of those attending. He also suggested (after a good look around) it was probably the first time in years, if at all, any of them had been in a sports facility!

Perhaps some people are better staying at home?

You mean the nurse fellow?
