Games Played

Games Played 2019: Games played during the course of the year at either the Grimsby Wargames Society or my Operations Room, using the various rules I use.

Grimsby Wargames Society

The Grimsby Wargames Society, based on Six Hills Street, provides diverse gaming opportunities, including historical, sci-fi, and fantasy wargames, as well as board and card games. We meet every Monday and Thursday from 7 PM.

My Operations Room

In the Operations Room, historical wargaming sessions feature various rule sets. Intricate miniatures and dioramas create a fun, immersive atmosphere, while strategic depth keeps players challenged and entertained.
