Cavalier 2026 - Loot!


Better late than never, I thought I'd share a few photos of the loot I collected at Cavalier Wargames Show at the end of February.


Firstly some reinforcements for my Parkfield Miniatures, WWII Finnish army I'm in the middle of painting up. Two sets of machine gun teams, one firing and one moving.


Next up some Barbed wire from Last Man Last Bullet, again for my Finns.


A random purchase, a French team for, cough, Not Silver Bullet. I might be able to use some for my and Lee's Retreat from Moscow armies. I've not yet had the time to match the figures up size wise with my collection.  But they sure are nice sculpts. and sorry, but I can't work out which company I bought them from, they sold loads of beautiful 3D printed buildings, anyone know?


From the Bring n Buy I bought my 2nd copy of Black Powder, even though I've never played the game. Why 2nd copy you ask? Well the first, I bought on ebay without realising it was A5 sized. The writing is so small, I can't read it even with my goggles on!


Well, We need the rules for the Finns! Lee wanted to use Bolt Action over Chain of Command, only coz he thinks he can get more hits on his you tube channel, the tart!


And with the rules, I got this free figure of Francis S Currey.


From Products for Wargamers, I picked up these 2 hills.


And some magnetic sheeting.


Picked this Osprey up, from one stall, how didn't I know about this book?


I spent a few quid at Debris of War as I always do. Yes more trees as well. But thus time they're for my 15mm collections.


Lastly more from Debris of War. 25mm hedges, which I want to cut up and make bushes and some 15mm hedges as well to add to my ever growing collection.

And that my friends, is that!
