Title: More Great War Action in East Africa
Post by: tim in saskatoon on February 26, 2011, 05:18:18 PM
Last night marked the Seventh Annual Wargaming Birthday Bash. Seven players came out to celebrate, push little toys around, roll dice, wear funny hats, eat cake, and shout!

A full report and loads of pic of the evenings shenanigans can be found on my blog:

Nice job Tim.  Good to see that wargaming is alive and well on the Prairies.

Which side were the cakes on? :P


That train looks nice.Where's it from if you don't mind me asking? Is it from a toy set?

They were neutral and available for all.

Just a cheap toy train set I picked up at the local Toys R Us a number of years back... I keep meaning to re-paint it and/or convert some cars into armoured train bits... but just never seem to get around to it...
