The Slammers and the Thunderbolts

picture

Adam and Ben from 4Ground approached me after Salute 2015 and started to discuss a Slammers game for the following year at the show. I won't be able to, I said, but I know a man who can!

Matt Hay of the Wessex Wyverns put a team together and with some new vehicles supplied by Ainsty Castings link and some brilliant scenery by 4 Ground, this is what they came up with.

Most of the photos were taken by Matt with just a few by me as I walked past and gawped but have a look around what a great game they put on.

I wish I could have played!

It did look very good!

Yes not my thing but always good to see such a superbly presented game!

Sparks, you should take a look at Hammers Slammers – a great game for treadheads.

Great work, and I'm not ashamed to say that again here.

Awesome looking game… As usual!

Question about the highway signs… Are they 15mm ones (which I can't find on 4Ground webstore? Or are they the 10mm ones working fine with 15mm minis?

comstarhpg23 Apr 2016 5:44 a.m. PST

@ Trojan – They are 15mm.
Not sure it's all up on there site yet.
@ Baldlee I nearly got you to play :)
@ Every one thanks. It was a long day but was a cracking. Thanks again to John for arranging :)
Cheers Matt

Everyone: glad you enjoyed it.

Matt – (without this sounding like a 'love in') thanks for stepping up and getting the pics to me.

What have you got planned for Bovington this year, Matt? wink

Every one involved – 4ground, Ainsty and Matt and his team – did a great job, TK 421.

I know I said it before but I just wish I could have played!
