League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

What are you playing there Barry?
I am coming anyhow but love to see you, since we play BLB(1) now since about 2 years.

A BLB2 game with WARFARE MINIATURES figures. Something in Ireland!

Aughrim, but St Ruth doesn't get his head blown off and he routes the Anglo Dutch army and history is forever changed!

I look forward to seeing this one.

Just back to my hotel after CRISIS. A fantastically organized show by an extremely efficient and friendly club TSA. I was made to feel hugely welcome and the table was as busy as I can remember at a show for a long time.
I think I managed to convert a few 'WARHAMMER 40K' players to historicals and ran through some turns with those familiar with the wars of the Dutch. It was amazing how many Dutch gamers were amazed at the prominence of the Dutch in a period they new little about!
Of course the Belgians knew all about it

War in Ireland was a good choice.....

Nice to see so many forum members and names from over the years.. Alan, Bart, Burkhard, Patrick, Peter, William, Mats and loads more plus many knew gamers interested in the period.

Overall, a great experience....

hey barry, sjefke from crisis here, we had a blast at crisis and playing your game, we bought outselves some starter gear and we're going to try it out soon, thanks for introducing us to it

These Boards have huge amounts of really top quality data and links if you just look around for a while..

Ask us any questions and we'll be glad to help

Did they understand your Weggie accent or did they think it's just double Dutch?
Cheers
Dave

Barry has an accent? Can't be any worse than mine.

It was nice to see your table as well as the one from Aldegarde. Strange to see BLB in 28mm, as I am so accustomed to play in 6mm with much bigger armies
I am still happy with the BLB1 version.

It was a great show and thanks to the organisers of TSoA. It was also nice to see a lot of people and put faces to the names.
As Barry said, LoA is a great period so we will expand our armies in this period as we think it has so much potential.

Beware... it is picture heavy.

It was great to meet you Barry. Loved your game and figures. If you are ever in the neighbourhood of the clubhouse, let us know and we'll give you a tour of the Ekeren battlefield (or what's left of it)

BTW, Burkhard, the link you posted on your blog, Belgica is not the one we will be at, you should link the Waagnatie page as this might confuse some people. Too bad I missed you yesterday, as I had to pass on Dennis' best wishes.

See you all in 2012.

THX Patrick. Updated the comment with the correct link!

Cheers,

Burkhard
