15mm WRG WWII game at the North Shore Wargames Club

We had some interesting games at the club today. Steve's most recent acquistion, a Chaos army bought at NICon, had its first game (and a successful one too!). Al and Kit had a 15mm WWII game using a modified set of WRG WWII rules. There was some pretty impressive terrain on display too.
There were also a couple of Flames of War games - Ray's Brits taking on Steve's Germans, and John's German armour attacking Rob's Polish Home Army.
Several more Kings of War games too:
Kendall (Brotherhood) played Philip (Kingdoms of Men)
Philip (Kingdoms of Men) played Steve (Varangur)
Kendall (Brotherhood) played Rob (Brotherhood). That doesn't sound very brotherly, does it?
