The battle of Changping a Warring States demo game



Battle of Changping ( Part 1)
2006  Curteys Miniatures Demo game.
All figures are from the 28mm
Warring States and Han Chinese ranges by Curteys Miniatures

I was trawling through photos of some of our past demo games and thought it would be a good idea to do a series of blogs showing the games as a series of photos.

    1. Great to hear that you're putting on a demo for Salute. I, as usual, will be found hovering around the Lance and Longbow stand as I'm commited to helping George out with his Grandson game.

      No doubt you'll see me at you stand though :O)
