A Weekend in Provence - ADLG in Avignon 2019

<p>No ADLG events since the 1/72nd scale whupping for my Vikings at The BIG Abona Festival back in June... by November I was starting to go stir-crazy (and not in a painting sort of way!).</p> <p>Browsing the UK calendar had failed to cough up any events which coincided with a free weekend, but on the French part of the ADLG forum I spotted one event on a very specific weekend in November, and a last-minute plan suddenly fell into place... Avignon!</p> <p>Air Miles subsidized the international logistics, Avis loyalty points chipped in with a gallic roller-skate-sized hire car and a list I'd already used saw a very small but relatively freshly painted Assyrian army packed into the world's smallest tin for a hand-luggage-only travel plan involving the smallest rucksack in my collection.</p> <p>5 games later and there French meta has been well and truly tested to wine, beer, cheese and obscure local spirits type destruction in 5 games of mixed success for the Lions of Assyria.</p> <p>Listen and be amazed at the local atmosphere, or read the full report <a href='https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Avignon_2019_1.php'>on the Madaxeman.com website</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Original music courtesy of Howard Gray, additional sound effects from the BBC sound archive</p>
