Wargaming Projects 2025

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

22nd March 2025, I have just completed my Stalingrad Oil Tanks, which are a crucial addition to my Stalingrad project.

15th January 2025, I’ve just finished assembling my Faller Water Tower and Factory, an essential centrepiece for my Stalingrad project.

Games Played

Games Played 2025: 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.
