November Newsletter

I have just added the November issue of the club newsletter to the site. Thanks are due to Warren for writing it.

Have a look at the newsletter section of the site if you want to read it.

VC vs Dwarfs Battle Report

Warren has sent me a write up of his battle from last week against James.

I’ve posted it up here on the blog section for the moment. If this becomes a regular feature (hint if anyone else wants to write some that’d be great) then I’ll sort out a seporate section for them on the site.

Games on the 19th March

Wednesday the 19th saw the unveiling of the snow boards for the FoW game for Kelmarsh, plus a photo shoot opportunity for some very photogenic German Panzer Lehr, and some slightly more camera shy Russian infantry.

We also had plenty of other action taking place, ranging from the Warhammer world to 1600’s England and on to Normandy in 1944.

German Panzer Lehr units wait for the order to advance.

Russian Strelkovy and Mortar’s attempt to dig in.

We also had some british units making their club debut.
