Ok, we have enough people definitely interested to book the place (which I intend to do in the morning) and will currently have 3-5 games depending on how we split things.
We will have access to up to 12 tables so tell your friends and family and we'll see how big we can make this!

Remember!

Drybrushing isn't cheating
Contrast/speedpaints aren't cheating
Airbrush isn't cheating

Use whatever practical tools you have on your desk to make your miniatures look great!

The real value is in the fact you've made some art yourself. No machine can ever replace your own creativity.

I found myself quite productive recently, just didn’t take any photos. But I did this weekend! #wargaming #spreadthelard

Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy 108 In this issue, we take a look at the closing days of World War II, with German forces on both the eastern and western fronts fighting a desperate losing battle against the advancing allies.

I visited there when I was 10 or 11. Couldn’t wait to build a version in Lego when we got home from our vacation.

I do like the 'it doesn't count as buying new things if you go to indie creators' rule, yes. So... threw a few toys into the cart from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social because I medically require retail therapy on occasion.
