Partizan Loot : Chinook Gunship ACH-47

I really enjoyed my outing to Partisan (Newark) on Sunday. As well as helping man the Wargames Development (WD) stall running a game of "633 Squadron", I found myself mostly "looking" so no crazy massive purchases to announce. However I did add to some "ongoing projects" (see below, one of them is the [20mm-1/72] Vietnam period of interest): 


In addition I stocked up on Vietnam "casualties of war" for dead and wounded markers from Grubby Tanks. Also, I did see Early War Miniatures as somewhere that understood my early WWII interests. I have a rolling France 1940 project (yes French & BEF but even the fringe Danish, Norwegian [Narvik] and Dutch elements) plus Italian East Africa projects (future purchases) to consider. 


But .. the best thing about Partisan was meeting up with old wargaming friends. Decades may have passed but meeting up, talking shop and even rolling dice (perhaps flying a RAF Mosquito down a fjord for instance [see 633 Squadron Game]) means that the conversation just starts where you left off! Fantastic and it is so good for the soul.
