But it did seem that there were less traders than usual - as several of the Cancon regulars (and traders themselves) told me. One of the organisers reckoned there had been 6000 visitors by Sunday afternoon. I could well believe the 1000 competitors although it did seem a lot less crowded than previous Cancons.Doc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-8731287402814574152012-02-11T11:44:50.135+11:002012-02-11T11:44:50.135+11:00Angry

They were very slick operations - perhaps some of the smaller ones can't compete? Disappointing not to see Nick and the Eureka stand though... A few of us intend doing something about the demos - we're planning a Zulus wars, Boxer rebellion and FPW games for next year.<br /><br />Well spotted John - the Mexicans of that period had virtually French uniforms - but the figures are actually Mexicans!Doc Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454394616689797734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-43199928515951031572012-01-31T04:04:10.548+11:002012-01-31T04:04:10.548+11:00Very nice, particularly liked the Alamo game, but ...Very nice, particularly liked the Alamo game, but the Mexicans look very much like French!john de terre neuvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898285039988448895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020094779384982600.post-14197718798004314492012-01-31T03:35:32.871+11:002012-01-31T03:35:32.871+11:00I can see why you think this was the best game at ...I can see why you think this was the best game at the show, it looks superb!!!
