Our next show is our local one, Broadside<\/a> in Gillingham, Kent on Saturday June 14th.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ll have as much stock as we can, but we should sound a note of caution; our show stocks, especially Imperial Skies and spaceship fleet packs, were severely depleted at Salute. For a variety of reasons we might not be able to completely restock before Broadside, so if there’s something that you specifically wanted to pick up then it might be an idea to order it in advance. You can do this via the website using the Pickup at Show<\/em> shipping option so that you don’t pay any postage. You can choose to pay for it in advance, or on the day using the Cash on Collection<\/em> payment option.<\/p>\n

We will have stocks of our new releases, particularly the 28mm Space Station<\/a> scenery sets, which should have even more options by the time that the show arrives.<\/p>\n

If you wanted reasons to come to the show (beyond the fact that we are there, which should really be enough on its own !), we can give you several. Firstly, The Werelords<\/a> will be putting on a Hammer’s Slammers game again, although this year it will be in 6mm. Tony has been putting in overtime making a load of new scenery for the day, so you can come along, have a look and meet John Treadaway, author of the rules. Secondly, our club Maidstone Wargames Society will be there with their Battlezone<\/a> game, which is an homage to the classic 1980s video game. This is a participation game so you can join in and blast some tanks back into their constituent pixels !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And apparently some chap called Dan Abnett<\/a> will be there – we’re told he’s written a book or two… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
