It is our attempt to recreate or simulate historical military actions and engagements. This is done using highly detailed, hand painted, scaled miniature figurines as well as scale simulations of terrain to recreate the tactical environment of a military engagement. In other words we play with toy soldiers. Play is controlled by specific rules unique to each military time period. Movement is predetermined and a ruler or tape measure is used to physically move the figures.
Dice represent luck or random factors.
Firepower and unit morale are critical issues covered by the specific rule system used for that particular game. Success is usually a combination of how well you can recreate the proven tactics of the time period and luck. We are constantly expanding to cover new time periods and conflicts. Members of the club are not required to buy or paint miniatures but are encouraged to do both . Alums are always welcome to come back and game with us.
