Joy of Six 2023 Show Report
An annual show dedicated to 6mm wargaming The Joy of Six held in Sheffield is now on its 10th year. It offers a refreshing change to any small scale gamer who wants to see the best that the scale can offer, and is an eye-opening experience for those who think that 6mm scale wargames are the poor relation of the table top gaming world.
Starting from a handful of games at the initial small show in 2013, the Joy of Six is now an established event drawing attendees from not all over the World. The show itself has a unique atmosphere; busy, enthusiastic and overwhelmingly friendly. The emphasis is participation with most of the games falling into this category. The Joy of Six also has a couple of items unique to itself in the form of the Sunday Morning Grill where the Baccus team get interrogated about all aspects of the gentle art of making toy soldiers, and the Afternoon Panel, where a group of hobby luminaries answer questions from the floor about all manner of wargame related subjects.
A fantastic day that really does highlight how epic 6mm wargaming is with a huge variety of games on offer as participation of demonstrations. While it may not be the biggest show there was a lively atmosphere and a very friendly feel to the whole event.
