The Great War at GamesDay 2007

Thirteen years ago today the 23rd September , it was GamesDay 2007 and I saw one of the best display games ever at the show, well one of my favourites.

It was Dave Andrews’ Warhammer Historical Great War game. The game was full of wonderful details and well painted miniatures and excellent scenery. I spent ages looking at it.

It’s the eye for detail which makes the scenery do well done, here the interior has not just been modelled, but ruined in a realistic manner as well.  It was all the little details that made the game for me such the wonderful details. Such as the wallpaper and the fireplace inside the ruined building.

…and it wasn’t just the scenery which was fantastic, the miniatures were well painted as well.
