The Gentleman that brought us Arnhem in 54mm at Salute in 2011 has expanded on this theme. It now covers an expanse in the region of 420 square feet of playing space. Over 800 figures and 100+ vehicles and guns.
This is all available on the weekend of 16th Jan – 18th Jan. 2015 inc. link Just drop me a line via the website or e-mail info @wargameshc.co.uk There are only a couple ogf places so be quick. Thanks, Mark. |

Mark, that looks really nice. One day I would like to join the game, but that means I have to fly over the pond to get to the UK. Matthew |

Oh drool! Man that looks lovely. I too am going to have to jump the pond and sit in on one of these matches. Looks fantastic guys. Well Done Gents! |

I was lucky enough to be at Salute in 2011. The 54mm Arnhem was a thing of wonder and beauty! If only I had the space….. |
