Partizan 2025 – The Rejects on Tour
I’m a bit late in posting about Partizan, life has just got in the way this week. Most other gamers, bloggers and vloggers have already posted up their show reports, but here’s my take on the show and games at this years May Partizan.. Its a very long post, so go put the kettle on before you go any further.
I’ve firstly gotta say what a fantastic day that was!!!
I do love the Partizan shows, there’s eye candy every which way you look.
Top marks to all the clubs hosting games and to all involved in running the show.
Unusually for us, we arrived after the show had started, but there was still a queue to get in. It was a little different this time round as we had to park in another carpark and walk a short distance to the entrance, where there was a marquee, housing an overspill of a few games and traders, also a bring and buy, where you could hire a spot for an hour and sell your unloved items. I picked up a few ECW/Medieval houses quite cheap. Me and Lee planned to walk around together on Lee’s planned route, just to make it easier to name the games we were going to photograph. We lost Postie and Steve in the first 2 minutes entering the show and didn’t see them again for a few hours. A quick stop at the Last Valley followed, to buy some terrain for our Retreat from Moscow project, then back to the car, where we bumped in Iain from Caveadsum 1471, where we stopped for a chat, then raced back into the show.
The Queue
Now onto the games, here’s where I have to apologies to most of the games in the participation area. It took me and Lee so long to get around the demo game section, (around 5 hours!) because we were talking so much to loads of fellow gamers! So by the time we got to the other end some clubs has started to pack there games away, and I was down to 3% battery on my mobile so had to take whatever pics I could.
