There is now less than a month to go to this year's Joy of Six, and it really is looking like another outstanding show.
In terms of traders, we have the following attending, their shelves, racks and tables packed with 6mm merchandise of all types:
- Baccus
- Wargames Emporium
- Commission
- Brigade Models
- GM Boardgames
- Heroics and Ros
- Rapier
- Christopher Morris
- GS Miniature Workshop
We're really pleased to be able to welcome GM Boardgames, who are traveling to attend the show all the way from Poland. They'll be showing off their ACW game and a lovely range of figures. Also new for this year is Christopher Morris, who'll be selling books – a real gap in the products available in previous years' events.
The list of games is really quite stellar:
- Battle of Seven Pines
- Ultra fast sci-fi
- Operation Excess
- DBA partication
- Action at Gilly, June 1815
- Swordpoint 6mm
- Zeebrugge Raid 1918
- Horka 1708
- Napoleonic
- Normandy 44
- Megara
- Hastings
- Future War Commander
- Manchester 1642
- DBMM Ancients
- Battle of Issus
- Battle of Britain
- Matz 1918
- Clitches of the Great Patriotic War
- ECW – Halfway Down
- Austerlitz
- Command Horizon
That's two dozen games of the very highest quality, with 75% of them being participation. You not only get to see some great sights, but you get to join in too.
For those of you wishing to sharpen up your painting, Dr. Mike will be once again opening the doors of his splendiferous painting clinic.
There will be two seminars. The Baccus team will once again be placed in a locked room with a load of customers and pinned against the wall, and made to deliver up the deepest and darkest secrets about what goes on behind the scenes at the Grim Workshop of Doom. The second will be a new format to us in that we've assembled a panel of some of the great and the good of our hobby to chew over some topical 6mm-related issues. There'll be more details of this coming along later, but I think that's going to be a cracking session.
Add in to this heady mix a bring and buy, good food at very reasonable places, and a mere £3.00 GBP entry fee, then you have the makings of one of the best shows on the U.K. games circuit.
You can find all the details here.
If you fancy making a full weekend of it, then why not book yourself in on a Baccus Workshop Tour? We'll be holding two sessions on Saturday, 14th July. Numbers are limited, so get your reservations in now or risk disappointment as they are very popular. Just email or call us on 0114 2724491.
