CRISIS 2012 is over

Saturday november 3rd: Crisis 2012. A new place to go with our 15mm Napoleonic demo after years in Metropolis.
We thought it a great place, better then Metropolis and, as we were early to built up the demo, we had no problem in finding a parking space. We understood that other had, thanks to the city of Antwerp, more problems in finding some space.
There were some hick-ups at the bar facilities and at one time a looooong queue existed but we had no problems to get our needed drinks. But it was the first time in a new venue so TSoA will sort this out for next year (remember how they fixed the bad lightning in Metropolis?)

So, congratulations of the whole Alde Garde to all who were involved in planning and realising this great show and of course seeing you next year.

Of course we took some pictures (who also will appear on our website-yes we will update this in the near future) but we found that we had too little time to browse around and take pictures, talk to people and do shopping. Must plan better next year.

Hick up: there is only one road and when the dice are bad for the first unit you have a problem!
