Firestorm Games Bring & Buy

It was that time again...Firestorm Games Autumn Bring & Buy.

Run in their playing area, this is an excellent venue to pick up  a few bargains and perhaps dip your toes into a new project at a bargain price!

Most stallholders  (as they are most times) were selling off their surplus Sci-Fi and Fantasy stuff.

There were, however, a good few things to temp us dyed in the wool historical gamers.

I was very pleased with my stash.....

• An old self published guide to the Franco-Prussian War (50p) - hoping once again this will encourage me to get on with those 10mm armies I've owned for over 25 years!
• Osprey Union vs. Confederate Infantry book (£2)
• Three WAB supplements (£2-3 each)
• Open Combat hardback book (£5)
• Chicago Way (£2) - shame I didn't realise it should have a deck of cards and a map with the book😕
• Warlord Games 28mm ECW Dragoons (£15)

A good day out and an excellent opportunity to add to my ever growing "to do" shelf!

Lincombe Barn - Table Sale 2018

Well, what a fortnight I've had!

Being allowed to attend TWO table sales!! This time down to Bristol and the Lincombe Barn Table Sale.

And once again I think I've done well with my bargain hunting.

Starting from left to right;-

• A Corgi Diecast Chieftain (for my Grandson) - £1.50
• Osprey British Infantry Equipment 1808-1908 - £5
• Wargaming on a budget - Iain Dickie - 50p
• Blanfords Army Uniforms of WW1 - £3

• Saga (Original Version) + Battle Boards - £2

Not a bad haul for £60. Just got to find the time to read them all.....

Firestorm Games most recent Bring & Buy event.

Initial trading was brisk as there were at least a couple of hundred prospective buyers hovering around the 20 or so stalls.

All was well organised, but could have done with a little more room between the stalls?

The usual Sci-Fi/Fantasty bias, but amongst all this there were historical wargames bargains to be had.

As an observation, I do wish more sellers would pre-price their goods. It saves all those embaressing questions about "how much do they want for so-and-so."

Anyhow, I came away with the following;-

• The Kingdom is Ours ECW Rules (£5)
• Living on the Front Line-Winter of ’79 Rules (£5)
• DBA 3.0 hardbacked rules (£5)
• GW WH40K First Strike starter set (£5)
• Panzer Leader Board Game (£2)
• Bag of 20xD6 (£1)

Bargains….! Oh and my pre-ordered copy of Great Escape Game’s new 1914 Rules @ £13.50.

A productive morning out. Can’t wait for next weekend’s B&B at Lincombe Barn, Bristol!
