Wargaming Projects 2021

My World War II project will be an ongoing process and I would imagine will take many years to complete.

Making Scenery & Terrain

I have finished the following scenery pieces.

Games Played

Games Played 2021: 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.
