It was years ago that we (Alde Garde) put on a wargames demo at FIGZ, in fact we must go back to 2019 for our last wargames demo at FIGZ!
Holidays, COVID, two shows planned on the same day etc are the reason that we could not attend FIGZ. And we really missed it.
So we were glad that after that many years (7 to be precise) we were welcome at the show to present our early 80 Years War demo (played with Pikemans Lament).
Due to the available space, it was a smaller demo then at Geel but that didn't matter as it played as nice as the bigger one.
As always FIGZ is simply great, maybe smaller then most shows but that is the beauty in our opinion. There are modellers presenting their new made models (and showing how it is done), a painting competition, stands of small manufacturers with great stuff and some other retailers of games, figures and models, a layout of Waterloo with hundreds of 20mm figures and last but nog least some wargames tables with various periods as theme.
But; most importantly it is a friendly show, more of friends meeting once a year and talk about last year, their projects, new material etc. Maybe you can compare it with a clubnight.
If you want to visit next year (June 6th 2027), look at their Facebook site (FIGZ) or their new website figz.nl .
We use Pikemans Lament rules for our demo but instead of one we use 3 companies each. The used statistics for the are:
Pictures are underneath; starting with some of our table
Organisers stand
Waterloo in 20mm
Compagnie d'elite; resin modelsTo our regret we had some very bad pictures of the modelling part so these could not reproduced 😌
