Old Glory World Wargames 2009

The weekend of the 3rd and 4th saw Time Was... at the Old Glory World Wargames event held at Derby University. Just a hop down the Brian Clough Way between Nottingham and Derby.

It was a very successful two-day event. There were plenty of demonstration games, participation games as well as the competition games. From medieval to WWI and WWII, not too mention the Napoleonic to the film orientated games such as Ghostbusters-UK. But it wasn't just about the games there were also plenty of traders to take care of all these different types of wargamer.

The event was very well managed by Derby Wargames Associates. From our vantage point in the Atrium building we could look down on many of the games, especially the Raid on St. Nazaire hosted by the Leeds Wargmes Club. A very impressive layout, though not much gaming but plenty of talking by the folks from Leeds.

Luckily no other traders seemed to stock some of the items we had and so over the two days we were kept busy by a steady stream of buyers.

If you get the chance to go to next years event then make a dash for Time Was... as hopefully again we'll have the 'unique' stock.
