Outgrowing their clothes? 2018 a year of downward trajectory for shows?

Successful wargaming shows are to be celebrated without reservation. When however that success lessens the exhibitor and customer experience it is time to ask a few questions and make a few decisions.

The Cock of the North, Part Four
Clarence Harrison- Well, that was fun! Running a game for players who have no experience with a rule set is always tricky. You can spend a lot of time bogged down in tedious explanations of mechanics and the minutia of the charts and discover that no one remembers it all anyway, or you can just dive in. I explained that the troops mostly use d6s or d8s to resolve their actions (a concept they WERE...
The Cock of the North, Part Three
Clarence Harrison - Turns five through seven saw the action heat up as both sides began to make more aggressive moves.
Sir Arthur attempts to dazzle his opponent with a double order deployment in hopes of confusing his foe...
Unfazed, General Hamilton responds by trying to blind his opponent...
In the center of the field, Captain Magill's Dragoons crash into the second squadron of Tyrconnel's Horse....
The War of Three Kings QRS
Clarence Harrison - We opted out of printing a QRS this time, but fear not you can have them absolutely free! Once you get a handle on the game, most of the rules you'll need are right here...
OMG! IT'S SIX PAGES LONG!

The Cock of the North, Part Two
Clarence Harrison- For the initial deployment, I placed the Foot of the Protestant Association in the village of Dromore, and left it up to the players to deploy their Horse and Dragoons as they saw fit. With Hamilton not yet on the field, Chris played Colonel Dominic Sheldon who had command of Tyrconnel's three squadrons of Horse, with Jim in command of Sir Neil O'Neill's two squadrons of...

The Cock of the North, Part One
Clarence Harrison- I had the opportunity to run a pre-release game of Beneath the Lily Banners/The War of Three Kings for some friends last weekend. They hadn't played any of the previous versions and were unfamiliar with the period, though eager to give it a try - and I was eager to see what they thought. When trying to decide on exactly what game to run, I turned to the pile of scenarios we have...
Republic to Empire at 10 GBP!
As I am just about to take delivery of a large quantity of The War of Three Kings I need to make some space in the store. I currently have quite a lot of Republic to Empire after commissioning a hugely optimistic print run a few years back. Although the book sells well, I will be using the remaining copies to build a small housing estate if I don't do something with them now.
