Yesterday was the first annual Phoenix Lakeland Wargames Exhibition at the Rheged Centre in Penrith. This is Cumbria's first wargames show, and in my opinion it was a great success. There were many traders at the event including the mighty Warlord games as well as more local ones like my very own plastic dealer Hadrian's Hobbies. There were also several tournaments on during the day, including Magic the Gathering and the Batman Miniatures Game, guess which one I was playing in?
The Batman tournament was great. A lot of underrated crews were represented, like the Wonderland Gang and Organized Crime. The guys were all fantastic sports and a joy to play against. I came sixth out of eight over all, with one loss, one draw and one win, and most importantly had a cracking time.
Set up begins for game one.

The absolutely stunning board by Z1 Designs. It's even more gorgeous when you see it with your own eyes.
I can't wait for next year#s show.
