| 12-May-06 | A typical meeting at Mitcham |
|
Lots of different games on offer at this Mitcham meeting on Friday night. John Shaw displayed his work in progress of the Isengard terrain. The 40K campaign was in full swing with several games going after the campaign moves. American Civil war, Napoleonics in both 25mm and 15mm scale, WW2 and of course quite a few games of DBM. Some of these are shown below. |
