My report from The Other Partizan, held in Newark, Nottinghamshire on 9th October 2022. not for nothing are the Partizan shows seen as the premier wargames shows on the calendar, both for the quality of games on show (both demo and participation games), but also for the friendly atmosphere and range of traders. This year's autumn show was no exception and I had a great time catching up with old hobby friends. Well done to Laurence and Tricks!

Just a quick post to confirm that, despite the recent bout of illness at Brigade Towers, we will be at SELWG on Sunday. Tony’s been taking his medicine and it seems to be working, so he was able to pop down to the workshop for the first time in a couple of weeks and load up this morning. The website remains closed at the moment, as we still have orders that need to be cleared first.
Stock may be a little patchy – Colours was a very successful show and we sold a lot of stuff, but that stock needs replacing and we simply haven’t been able to do that completely. Most ranges are ok, but there are a few gaps in our Imperial Skies fleet packs in particular.
We do have a couple of new items; while Tony has been on his sick bed, Phil has been working the 3D printer hard and adding a couple of new items to the list of Great War vehicles.
First is a crashed Nieuport 17 fighter – this would make a great scenario objective for a game.
Secondly we have the Russian Austin Kegresse half-track armoured car, plus a destroyed version.
Finally, we have the German Bussing A5P armoured car. These will be on the website very soon, Phil’s just finishing off the painted versions and photos for the website.
GW28-301 – Bussing A5P – £21.00
GW28-402d – Crashed Nieuport 17 – £18.00
GW28-501 – Austin Kegresse Armoured Car – £18.00
GW28-501d – Destroyed Austin Kegresse – £18.00

If you’re in the UK you’ll probably know this, but for the benefit of our overseas customers, Royal Mail staff are staging a series of strikes which could affect our shipping times. The first one was last week and the second yesterday, so although we shipped out a lot of orders today they will probably be caught in the backlog. There will be more strikes next week – these are on consecutive days (8th and 9th) so there will be significant delays then. We will post as many orders as we can on the 7th to try and get ahead of the strike. We then have a final late summer holiday break for a week after that, so no orders will be processed from September 9th to the 18th – we’ll deal with them as as fast as we can when we return on the 19th.
In other news, we’re going back to Colours at Newbury Racecourse for the first time since 2019. The show is on Saturday week (September 10th) and, as a thank you to a very patient public, the organisers have decided to make entrance free for the day – so you can come along, have a look and the games and peruse the traders for nothing (you could spend the money you’ve saved on the entrance fee at our stand – just a suggestion … 🙂 ).
