Conquest 2011

Conquest is an annual gaming event being held in conjunction with Comics Compulsion and the Christchurch Cavaliers Wargames Club. Every year, apart from a couple of times, the Southern Strategists put on a demo game and this year it was a Napoleonic naval game.

Here are a few photos from our game and some of the other games going on around the place.

Kings of War demo game.


Beautiful Dark Age troops from the Kings of War game.

I thought this layout looked really nice too.

    The bocage one was another one of mine I built a couple of years ago- I've enough to do an 8x 6 table

  4. @Craig- 8x6 of bocage would look very impressive.Did you make the table with the railroad and trench also?

  5. Yes, but it is a bit damaged these days as its has been used at 6 or so comps and doesn't always travel well from rural South Canterbury. I always intended to add sandbags etc to the trench lines but it is fine as a comp board- and makes for a fun game. One day I'll upddate it witha V2 board :)
