Earlier this week, there was a somewhat depressing announcement by the Tin Soldiers of Antwerp:
A more detailled explanation will follow later but we sadly have to announce that we are unable to organise Crisis 2022 in the current format.
We were still in the process of writing the communication but as it is out, we quickly have to address the news now.
Rising costs, lesser availability of volunteers and the announcement of restrictions already on the table for pandemic measures later in ’22 have made it a far too big financial risk for us to carry trough with the known format,hence the cancellation as organizing this can’t have us risk our club finances.
That would be the 3rd year in a row there will be no CRISIS show, arguably the biggest wargaming convention on the European mainland.
It's a real pity, since I was hoping to rejuvenate my wargaming mojo at CRISIS after the pandemic. Let's hope this cancellation is not the final nail in the coffin for a show such as CRISIS. Otherwise it will be back to smallish club events ...
It is a real pity. I do hope it makes a comeback eventually. I would even volunteer to help out!
