The Victorian Outpost

Its a new gaming place in Grimsby with new terrain and new scenery, lots of respect for all wargamers and is the best place to game in town.

Anybody who wishes to visit the venue to arrange a game then  just pm me and lets roll those dice.

I nearly got that "look" a couple of days ago when I accidently stood on the trigger string for the large scale trebuchet, prematurely releasing the arm as i was loading it....Luckily I saw the pin come away and moved but it still gave me a good whack  :)
