What's New

• The largest wargames show in the UK, Salute, was held at the Excel exhibition centre at London Docklands on 12th April 2025. Although the club was not running an official display game, Nick was supporting Per Broden with his award winning 6mm recreation of the Crossing of the Duna, 1701. A brief description of this is available on the Diary & Events page.

• The West Midlands Military Show, otherwise known as Alumwell, was held on Sunday, 30th March at Aldersley Leisure Village Aldersley Rd Wolverhampton WV6 9NW. For the second year running the club was represented by Andy S, Daniel, Howard, Pete and Stuart S who displayed a 28mm Chain of Command/Bolt Action game set on the Eastern Front in 1942. The guys did us proud and a brief account of the show can be seen on the Diary & Events page.

• Dave K and Harry nobly represented the club at the Hammerhead show, held on Saturday 1st March at the Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire. They put on a 28mm English Civil War participation game using the 'For King and Parliament' rules. Harry's account of the day's activities can be found on the Diary and Events page and photos of the game from both players are available in the Gallery. 

• Graham has produced a set of WWII rules inspired by his friend Dave Chubb, who was a member of the club for several years until his death in October 2023. You will find the rules here and I am grateful to Graham for permitting them to be available on the site.

• Nick's latest set of rules are now on sale. 'Twilight of the Emperor' covers the period 1800-1815 and provides detailed rules for recreating large-scale battles of the Napoleonic era. More details can be found at Wyre Historic Books.
