What's New

• Sheffield is once more the venue for the annual Baccus 'Joy of Six' show on Sunday 13th July at Sheffield Hallam University, Howard Street, Sheffield, S1 1WB. Dave K and Harry are running an English Civil War participation game,  a recreation of the Battle of Adwalton Moor, 1643, using Commands and Colors rules. If you are visiting the event, please visit their table and give them your support.

• As part of the 760th anniversary celebrations of the Battle of Evesham, the club will be running two demonstration games at the Barons War 2025 Wargames Convention on Saturday 2nd August and Sunday 3rd August. The venue is Wallace House, Oat Street, Evesham, WR11 4PG. Our Saturday game will be an English Civil War battle in 10mm scale and our second display on the Sunday is a 28mm Romans vs Ancient Britons contest. More information on the show can be found here. 

• The largest wargames show in the UK, Salute, was held at the Excel exhibition centre at London Docklands on 12th April 2025. Although the club was not running an official display game, Nick was supporting Per Broden with his award winning 6mm recreation of the Crossing of the Duna, 1701. A brief description of this is available on the Diary & Events page.

• The West Midlands Military Show, otherwise known as Alumwell, was held on Sunday, 30th March at Aldersley Leisure Village Aldersley Rd Wolverhampton WV6 9NW. For the second year running the club was represented by Andy S, Daniel, Howard, Pete and Stuart S who displayed a 28mm Chain of Command/Bolt Action game set on the Eastern Front in 1942. The guys did us proud and a brief account of the show can be seen on the Diary & Events page.

• Graham has produced a set of WWII rules inspired by his friend Dave Chubb, who was a member of the club for several years until his death in October 2023. You will find the rules here and I am grateful to Graham for permitting them to be available on the site.
