Landmachtdagen

On may 13th and 14th, the Alde Garde participated, together with about ten other wargamesclubs in the open day of the Dutch Army at Oirschot .
Various tables showed the history of, mostly, the history of warfare in the Netherlands or of the Dutch army. Starting with a Roman battle near Maestricht and ending with modern warfare, as Alde Garde we were in the middle period with our 1690 demo.
A lot of different visitors, from families to the commander of the Duthc army discoverd for the first time that something as wargaming (with figures I must add) exists so a promotion of the hobby it was.
Sadly, through a crash of the computer, our photos are disappeared so the first picture is of the THS site (German cavalry attacking Romans near Maestricht, the second from the Ministry of Defence.
