What You Get At Crusade Wargames Show

Plenty to do and see for a start.  Traders by the bucket load.  A good mix of the best, the wierdest the novel, inspiration and just plain daft.  We treat our traders well, a bit like old friends, and they come back year after year. You should always be able to do a deal with these fellows.

Current Show traders list available from the top menu.

Oh The Wonderful Wargames!

That’s right games and more games.  Both participation and demo games galore. From the rivers of Vietnam, to ancient battlefields, the skies above 1916 France, the waters of the Pacific and many more.  Don’t be afraid to approach and ask questions and get involved.  A lot of the games are put on by other local clubs such as Cardiff Wargamers or HATS and they are friendly and enthusiastic.

Wargames Traders At Crusade

This is what we like.  Figures, figures and even more figures.  Add some terrain second hand bargains and we go home happy and broke.  Oh yes at Crusade we try to bring you the best wargames traders around, so that you have the best choice.  Why not try pre-ordering and collecting on the day for a bargain

 

The Crusade Bring & Buy

Of course you might be here just to shift some kit and make some more money (To buy more figures of course!). Then the Bring & Buy should be one of your first stops.  At the back of the centre its always a hive of activity.  Get their early to beat the booking in queue so you can get the best place for your stuff and spend more time in show planning what to spend your earnings on.  If you get the forms done in advance even better.  Get it here
