This event, held in the epicentre of the 'Lead Belt' in Nottingham City Centre (Nottingham Trent University), just gets bigger and better! Great competition games and scenery, superb trader stalls, interesting demo games, dedicated 'Perry' and 'Two Fat Lardies' rooms, a bring and buy stall etc etc…..what more could you want?! We ran a Franco-Prussian demonstration game in which the Prussians eventually managed to eke out the narrowest of victories after suffering horrendous casualties.

Looks like a good time was had by all, except the French of course. Thanks for sharing this. |

BTW there were a couple of fantastic Franco Prussian games at Historicon this year. They used arms from the Perry FPW French plastic infantry box with the ACW Zouaves to get the chassepot and sword bayonets for the Turcos. Looked really good! |
