Impact Wargames Show Eindhoven

We always try to have a demo at the Impact Wargames Show as it is a nice, not too big but very friendly show in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
That Eindhoven is only a half hour drive is nice and a change to other distances we normally have to travel to get to a show.

Impact is organised by the Hired Guns club of Uden and they each year do a great job. So a big thanks to all the members of this club for their fine work.
And we see each other hopefully next year.

Starting with various photo's of the show and we will end with our 28mm French Revolution demo.



Carthagians against Romans








1898 game by the Achterhoede; very nice game







28mm 1940 game situated in Rotterdam


These bridges are terrific

Selling painted armies, great stuff





Black Powder game in the north of Africa


 And a few pictures of our demo; coalition troops trying to get the wagon train safely into the fortress. Unfortunately for the attacking French revolutionary troops, they managed to do that. The revolutionary zeal was no match against the good dice throwing of the allied troops.                           
In the distance the convoi is visible; the chasing French on the bridge



a nw building by our master builder Peter; a flemish farm







and the convoi reaches their safe destination

Jan, Great seeing your French Revolutionary armies in action, and that Vauban fort with drawbridges is also very impressive.
