The first Saturday of November was en is Crisisday. For years in Antwerp and now in Sint Niklaas. Although smaller and with no British wargames traders anymore, the show is imho great and worthwhile to goto.
Of course we had a demo with us and this year we took our (expanded) French Revolutionary game with us. Rules used were Balck Powder2 with some houserules. Figures as always a mixture of various firms although most of them were Eureka and Trent (former Emperor Toad) for the Dutch.
The scenario, situated in todays Belgian territory, was a simple one; a by the French revolutionaries besieged (Dutch occupied) fortress and an attempt by combined Austrian and British troops to relieve the fortress. The relieve attempt prompted a part of the Dutch troops to try a breakout.
So, up to some pictures of our game:

Great photos and some excellent looking games. I used to enjoy Crisis pre Brexit. Maybe next time.
Some excellent photos of sone great looking games.
Colin and Ray, thanks for the nice comments. The Crisis show is a very nice show although it never will be as big as the former Antwerp Crisis. The fact that no British wargames traders come over since Brexit is the main reason imho. It did attract people to the show who bought for a whole year. And, although a nice venue, it simply cannot house that many wargames and traders anymore.
But, it was again a very nice show, the organisation was perfect, presentations great. A good wargames day!
