A visit to … Battlefield Berlin
During my visit to the German capital I managed to cross something off my long-time wishlist, paying a visit to Battlefield Berlin. In march, when I was in Berlin as well, I just couldn't fit in the detour, but this time I had a bit of time on my hands and was just one district over, so I grabbed the public transport and went to Kreuzberg.
I think I am customer at Battlefield since the mid 2000s, and there are a few things that make them stand-out from other stores. The major aspect certainly is the width of the ranges. You can order items from them, that you would otherwise had to import from the states or might just get your hands on at trade shows. And they didn't do that for two or three ranges, but really a lot of them, so they are pretty much a one-stop-shop, where you get almost everything beyond the big brands. Oh, and they actually have a lot of those items on stock, and don't just forward your order / organise group buys.
Beyond that, there might be of course bigger stores (in terms of shop space), but this is a pure miniature wargaming store, with a few board games, but not the "usual" fantasy store that has trading cards, comics and maybe a bit of wargaming. But let me show you the pictures.
September 2024 review
Oh what a September it has been! Quite packed with travelling and that is not over in October either.
Right in the beginning of the month CRISIS! returned, and what a return it was. Proper weekend in the city of Antwerp, including meeting Tuomas Pirinen (and having my Mordheim book signed). Due to unplanned coincedences the festivities of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the city (Bevrijdingsdagen) were hold simultaneously . So lots and lots of World War 2 vehicles, people dressed as Allied forces and music was going on.
