All we did when we based for BLB was split the units in two and make 2 battallions from one with 12 figs in each. All that we ...

I'll be at Triples. I've been there ever since the first year. In the early days Dumfries and Ayr clubs combined to fill a 52 seater bus. For the last 5 or 6 years we've had the same number of guys, 2 car loads. Tried to sty in the Harley which is very near the venue but we are staying in the Grosve...

flames of war competition in dumfries

Kerr & King have said that they will sponsor a competition at our show on July 5th if there is enough support. If any of you guys are thinking of attending and you fancy a game can you please let me know.
I'm sure that it will be 1500 points. Fe based.
