So last
weekend 30 wargamers descended on my local boozer for a three day binge of
wargaming, and I am delighted to report that the 11th BLAM was a
total success.
The three days of gaming in the pub's small function room saw a total of 13
games hosted. These ranged across a wide set of periods and
genre’s. Where else in the wargaming world can you play Judge Dredd in the
morning, Custer in the early afternoon and a leading Columbian Drug dealer at
the end of the day. If you want to fight Spanish guerilla’s, blood soaked
zombies or axe armed men at arms BLAM offered it all.
A massive thank you to
all those that helped to organize, hosted games, or just took part in this
gaming extravaganza.
For those
of you not familiar with the concept of BLAM this started off life on the Lead
Adventurer Forum. This is an annual meet of gamers who share the same passion
for great terrain, figures and games. All the participants are regular visitors
to this most excellent forum and over the years several great friendships have
been established, battles fought and hobby experiences shared. It is most
definitely one of my highlights of a wargaming year.
The LAF is
a most definitely international forum and not surprisingly this year’s
visitors to BLAM were a very international bunch. Guests arrived from Ireland,
Wales, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. We even had a guest from the
States this year.
The
following photos are taken from the games being played – some of these were
absolutely outstanding beautiful..
roll on next year

ReplyDeleteWhat a fab effort by everyone. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice small tables . Gives a real good impression. I prefer a small table myself. It is more about the game and less about putting tons of lead on the table-top.
ReplyDeleteBravo
