Hammerhead Report. A good Game and new friends

Well our first fund raising game went well ,we raised a nice  amount for the Royal British Legion , and everyone that played enjoyed the scenario ,we had a mix of new players  and old. Most importantly we met some new friends and I would like to thank Chesterfield Open Gaming Society ( G.O.G.S) for being our hosts .The Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers (S.O.T.C.W) who based on the table adjacent to ours helped with our fund raising , and the guys at Critical Mass Games whose figures we will be using for our tommorow war games , the Critical Mass team kindly sponsered us . And a special mention to the gent who kindly pointed out we were using the wrong shade of flock to represent afghanistan grass  ?.A great Venue and a nice show .

Sponsers 2011

After superb support from traders across the world during 2010 helping us raise funds for the Royal British legion ,we are looking for sponsers for 2011.We have already had a response from some of last years including our biggest supporters Ambush Alley Games and Wargames Emporium ,I will be speaking to others over the next few weeks and most of all looking forward to the same support from the public we recieved last year.

Rest in peace Dave Howitt.You wil be missed

participation game

We had the first practice run for our participation game forthis years Hammerhead and triples shows,based on the Road Warrior TV series a British convoy moves through  open country to dash through a small village to safety in the forward base.As in the TV series all might not go well?. Hopefully all will go well at the shows and we will raise some funds for the Royal British Legion as well.More details after the shows ,we dont want to give all the surprises away.

Duxford

someone sent me a PM asking about IWM Duxford ,wanting to know if it was worth the time and money .Well yes it is in my eyes only adults pay entry so it cost me £32 for a family of 5 ,the displays are great lots of bits and pieces I have not seen else where covering not only it's famed aircraft but also military vehicles ,uniforms , a gun battery a flying bomb launch ramp and a prefab house to name just a few things. A few pics now to wet the appetite a bit more.

Cold War

Starting my BAOR 20mm for the upcoming coldwar gone hot supplement ,first up are 3 chieftans one of which is sporting the natty Berlin Regiment Urban Camo .Just seen some pics of the real thing and the effect against buildings was amazing. http://baor-locations.co.uk/AVeh.aspx
