Let us hope that 2022 sees a return to some normality in respect of wargames shows. Sadly Salute has gone and I completely understand that with the planning involved and following on so soon after the Autumn Salute of 2021.
I am hoping that Crisis in Antwerp is back this year - a great trip with the opportunity for good beer, good food, good company and visits to battlefields, especially Waterloo.
First show for me this year is Vapnartak in York in a few weeks - a new one for me so we shall see but a good day beforehand in York itself.
Then we are onto Partizan in May. We, the Old Guard will be hoping to put on a game and are already planning. You will have seen our hex based games in the past few years at certain shows. These have always been based on generic terrain which we use on our own game nights and although the terrain is great it is not bespoke. For Partizan we are working on more bespoke terrain, especially the hills and surrounding items. Work has begun and we hope it creates a more aesthetically pleasing look, although still hex based.
Our plan is Austerlitz (1805) for Partizan and we shall see for the Other Partizan in October.
Meanwhile, the Spanish Army is underway so maybe a Peninsula game later in the year.
So the next few months will be a tidying up of the terrain we have and lots of new builds.
