Sales Day 2013 – The Games Day Without Games…

UK Games Day 2013

Games Workshop’s UK Games Day 2013. Let’s get the basics out first. I didn’t really enjoy this year’s Games Day. Not nearly as much as I enjoyed Games Day 2012. Not everything was bad at this year’s Games Day and I see why some of the changes were made – in theory. The most change, […]

Miniature Wargaming In The UK

I did not always live in the United Kingdom. When I first moved house to the island, I couldn’t help noticing that I had moved into something of a wargaming paradise.
