Recon-structing Recon

Recon in New Pudsey happens usually in the first weekend of December – so that would be today. Like so many wargame shows in 2020 it did not happen. So this is a “reflection” of sorts instead

“Recon” in New Pudsey is run by the Wakefield & District wargamers and usually happens today – the first Saturday in December.

It is not the largest show on the circuit yet it has become a regular visit for me. There is always a decent selection of traders and a variety of games.

Pudsey Civic Hall is a relaxed venue with sufficient refreshments and plenty of seating plus parking (I travel by car) on site.

I have dropped by the Lance and Longbow Society (LLBS) stand for the last two years. I think they did the battle of Lewes in 2018 and last year they did the battle of Clifton Moor 1475. Its a participation game I always join in. The team are always very welcoming and really are there to throw the dice and get some pieces moving with any interested visitor.

I have no other photos except the headline one which shows tumbling dice 1/72 metallic command sets. I like the Saxon and Norman ones in particular.

ok a poor photo but you get the idea – these are nicely crafted 1/72 metals

On youtube “storm of steel wargaming” have posted a short video of the 2019 event. so you could do a quick “recon of recon” using it.

Here is hoping that in 2021 I will be able to visit this show again, assuming the Wakefield Gamers have the wherewithal to do it. I certainly hope so.
