THE WARGAMING PAGES

elcome to our Wargames Pages. These pages show our interests – my sons’ and my  Warhammer 40k and WorId War II armies, my Ancients and Victorian Science Fiction stuff, and some other periods we play. When the kids were very young I worked out a “quick and dirty” way of building armies - the "Slackers Guide" approach, explained below. Here is a summary of our armies, battles and PHOTOS stuff to hopefully enthuse and amuse.  Enjoy.
