When West Country Wargames Royalty calls, you can only concede. Nevermind “work” commitments, or your sick granny, Sunday 13th May was Canalrat 2018, hosted by the Trout and Garbage Public House and Caravan Park. Always the boys to spot a trend, the West Country’s new latest thing is L’art de la Guerre played with a measly a hundred and twenty points of miniatures. Is this the slow slide to D.B.A. Short sightedness? Will the figure manufacturers cease trading?

It was a superb weekend of play. Great armies and a very good atmosphere. 120 points allowed us to play four games comfortably in a day and as you can hopefully see, glorious 28mm models look great. Please keep your comments clean when reading the results below. The usual full and frank discussion of where my opponents went wrong will hopefully be along tomorrow. And Saturday is Don’s Bristol Bash at Bristol Independent Gaming!
