We are a group of like minded enthusiasts who shun formulae wargaming with rules and regulations without knowledge. Our philosophy is one of " if it happened in history it must be able to be replicated on our games".... oh dear sounds pompous, it's simple really old fashioned and enjoyable without long charts and section N para Y allows me to jump your wall by 6 mm ha ha.

Introducing real gaming
Westerhope Wargames Group are based in the west end of Newcastle upon Tyne.
We wargame historically covering hugely diverse periods from Alexander the Great, Roman Republic & Imperial through to Horse and Musket wars. ECW, Wars of the Spanish Succession, 7 Years War, Napoleonic and ACW through to Colonial Zulu and Sudanese scenarios. Oh and we can queeze in some modern if time is pressing!
We game weekly in battles of typically 500 figures per side on a 10' by 6' table. Big games to task your command skills.
We believe knowledge is more important that learning Rules, hence we use our own. We aim to achieve a result in a fast moving battle that will be completed in 3-4 hours.
One set of rules fits all...... too good to be true, trust me it's true.
Interested or wish to comment?

Hello Paul
ReplyDeleteMy son just put me on to your groups blog and I have enjoyed skimming the archive. Seems like fun. Look forward to reading more particularly some idea of the rules, as I can't quite imagine how one set would do for all the periods you play.
Regards
Jim
