A Birthday game of AWI

On 19th September 2025 I went over to long time wargaming friend, Steve Shann's house, to try his home brew AWI rules. The terrain and figures were excellent, and the game was easy to pick up, played well, and ended in a victory for my British force. Here are just a couple of photo's of the game.





Above - the 71st battalion on the British Line was lethal, causing 11 hits from 16 dice!

To the Rhine - a Rapid Fire WW2 game played in August 2025


Here are some photos of the game we recently put on at the Legendary Wargames cabin in Allerton, Bradford. It was played over the full weekend and resulted in a win for the German players as they delayed the Allied forces long enough to prepare the explosives on the last bridge across the Rhine.
