Shell and Shot eh? not too bad, probably going to put some names in a hat and let the club members choose.

I Guess it is a touchy subject, too difficult to explain fully on the forum. But rest assured it will be business as usual at the new club. Games, fun and lots of dice rolling buy the bucket load with some nice new terrain and club projects.

I think me and my friend Paul were going to do a bit of the Old D-day BKC (Sainte-Mère-Église, Airborne attack the German garrison). He has been getting into it now for a few months and he wants a Yank army for 44+. I will have to just upgrade me Germans with BIG cats and various other nasty stuff

The reminds me, I went to Gladstones the other day and discovered that Zvezda are doing a range of 1/144 scale Aircraft (art-of-tactic.com) and picked up a Bf109F and a LAGG3 (£5+ tho they ain't cheap). But its not often do you see Russian fighters, I could not resist.  :D

apparently Section 8 is how you get out the army for not being the full shilling so to speak.

I`m sure someone will correct me on this if I`m wrong.

Hi

Nothing has been posted in this section for a long time so I thought I would kick it off a again. We're looking for more historical gamers especially those into 10mm figures but it's not essential. We play BKC black powder, bolt action in 28mm or anything you care to mention.

Jim
Section 8 gamers (historical department).

Too far for me, I'm afraid.

I do know of a number of gamers in your area, who've offered to host games that I could join in with, but not being a driver myself I always have to decline  :(
