Here are a few pictures from the 'Hordes of the Things' competition held at Beer and Pretzels in Burton on May 15th 2004.
The Home Guard Stronghold
The base of James Ewins' operations. Defended by a Smith gun and a Northover projector, with another projector and some regular infantry deployed in front of it. This won the Best Theme Army prize.
The Weird Reich Advance
To their only victory of the day.
Duel in the Skies
RAF Hurricane faces Luftwaffe flying saucer over the White Cliffs of Dover. The Hurricane won.
Tank Killer
Adolf Hitler personally sees off a Matilda Mk 1.
View of the Hall
HOTT games in the foreground, other games behind them. Catherine and the children are out there somewhere.
Another View of the Hall
Benedict looks thoughtful in the foreground.
Jay Discovers A New Experience
Yes, he is recording a victory. Sadly it was over me.
Jay's Victory
Hitler is assaulted and killed by a giant vampire thingy. Serves him right.
"Perhaps They Have A Leak?"
Steve stares in disbelief at his balloons. I think that Mme. Blanchard's anachronistic costume did little to enhance their performance.
More HOTT
The last games of the day being played. That's Cei in the bottom left-hand corner.
The World Turned Upside Down
After three years and twelve games, James does the unthinkable: wins.
