Last day of the event and I made a short visit to the assembled, a bit quieter but still some fantastic games and great company, I wandered and took the pictures below.
Big Tony A and Lawrence and friend of Partizan fame nice to see again

Darren demonstrating the new Congo game using part of my colonial collection it plays very well there is I believe a demo at Partizan
Bryan again showed us he collection of greens to amaze and astound
Had the pleasure to meet after about 14 years Paul Philburn and his family he is the artist who did the warmonger tee shirt art and much more , I spent many hours with him in the design studio long ago, showing him how I worked on concepts he is now artist and miniature painter extraordinaire, a real joy to see him, group pic of Phil the Mighty Avenger and myself.
I can say I planned to do the whole event this year and Iam tired after it, but I have had such a wonderful time meeting again people i respect and call good friends and new acquaintances over the 3 days, the miniatures games are just inspiring but the atmosphere and collective company make this even worth it newcomers I talked with were amazed how friendly and helpfull all were. I would say the whole makes BOYL unique to any other convention or meet. The enthusiasm is infections, and all to me enjoyed every second.
Thank you Foundry for the event and letting me attend as always the hospitality shown to me and Alec and to all for your good company.
Thanks for the fantastic photos from across the three days. Do you know who did the graveyard table in this post? I love the effect of the game table and would love to find out more about how it was done. Thanks!
