Tomorrow is the Open Day of our club, Maidstone Wargames Society<\/a>. This is when we open the doors to show the public what wargaming is about, allow people to join in the games etc. It’s not a conventional wargames show<\/a>, there are no traders (not even us – although if anyone wants anything, the workshop is only 5mins down the road so I suppose I could go and get it !). It’s just a fun day where we get to display our games and (hopefully) pick up a new member or two.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So if you’re in the area and want to pop along, please do. I’ll be there with the Pegasus Bridge<\/a> game, and will be happy to talk for hours on the battle, making the game or the joys of 3D modelling. If you would like me to bring anything Brigade along, I can get it in the morning on the way, so e-mail<\/a> me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
