Two UK wargaming conventions in June

The first is Phalanx, run by the St Helens Wargaming Society, which takes place on June 17th in Merseyside. It offers a huge range of products and demo games covering all miniatures genres from Ancients to Sci-Fi. More details here.

 

 The second is Phoenix, put on by the West Coast Gamers group, which kicks off on June 24th at the Rheged Centre, Penrith, Cumbria. It combines a cross-section of boardgaming and miniatures, including a demo game of the Battle of Dyrrhachium 1081 in 28mm. More information here.

Society's reprint of Gladiolus soon available

The reprint of the Society game Gladiolus will be out in June.

Gladiolus was originally designed by the late Andy Gittins as a rapid and simple game of individual gladiatorial combat.

This new edition retains all the features of the original game, but Nick Harbud has completely overhauled its rules, components and artwork. The new edition also incorporates the big cat amendments devised by Colin Stutt and originally printed in Slingshot.
