I had the pleasure of attending The Other Partizan hosted by by Laurence Baldwin and Richard Tyndall (Newark Irregulars), the UK's premiere wargames show in terms of the quality of games.
It is always a lot of fun attending Partizan, or indeed The Other Partizan, as I am always highly impressed by the sheer number of extraordinarily high quality games; so many that it's almost impossible to take them all in without i/ ignoring all the folk you have got to know over the last few decades and ii/ floating around at such a pace that one has no time to really look at the games nor the traders. Thus, what you see here is a representation of what I was impressed by via my own long and winding path through Partizan and the people I know, and was to meet for the first time yesterday.
Please do not equate the number of photo's with the feeling of pleasure I gained from any particular game (thought this certainly is representative of some- I think this will be clear!). Quite often the flow of pictures was interrupted by saying "Hi" to friends and chatting. no bad thing at a large social event.
all the photo's are "clickable" in order to enlarge; so please, if you are of a mind to, click right then "Open image in New Tab" for the larger file.
