UPDATE 2022 – Rochester Games, Models and Railway has closed, as far as we are aware they have completely gone out of business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is probably only of interest to anyone in Kent, but feel free to read on, even if you’re in another country !<\/p>\n

Just about the only independent wargames shop in the North of Kent, Rochester Games, Models and Railway is situated on the main A2 through the historic town of Rochester (it used to be a City, but someone messed up<\/a> …). Jim and Victoria, the very friendly owners, carry a large and increasing range of scale models (Tamiya, Airfix, Revell, Italeri), model railway (Hornby, Peco, Bachmann) and wargames (GW, Warlord Games, West Wind, PSC … and now Brigade Models !).<\/p>\n

\"RGMR\"<\/p>\n

This morning I delivered two large boxes full of a variety of blisters. Initially they will be stocking spaceship squadron packs, Celtos unit packs (and some individual figures), 6mm company packs and Squadron Commander blister packs. However, they will take orders and if you require anything else from our other ranges then ask and they’ll pass your request onto us.<\/p>\n

RGMR doesn’t have a website yet, but they do have a Facebook page<\/a> and host regular gaming nights. The Rochester Sweeps Festival<\/a> is this weekend, so if you’re going along then why not pop in and pay them a visit ? Alternatively, go and visit the shop and while you’re there enjoy the festivities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
