Introduction
Table top wargaming with model or toy soldiers has been a popular hobby for many years. This past time can be an excellent opportunity to recreate famous battles from history or played simply for the tactical challenge of the game.
Warhammer Historical is part of BL Publishing, a division of Games Workshop Ltd. Warhammer Historical produce a range of highly playable table top wargaming rule books and supplements based in historical settings, including the Ancient World, the Old West and the English Civil War. When these are used in conjunction with armies of model or toy soldiers you can take up the challenge of Caesar, Hannibal or King Charles and your destiny can change with the roll of the dice!
New for the Military History Live event will be “The Great War”, a rule set enabling players to recreate the epic confrontations of the First World War. This exciting new release will be launched at the show and demonstration and participation games will be on display.
Warhammer Historical and the following companies and gaming groups are pleased to present the following games for your enjoyment.
Kaiserschlacht 1918
Presented by Great War Miniatures.
Operation Kaiserschlacht of March 1918 saw the last and largest offensives by the German army on the Western front. After the first day the Germans had broken through and forced the British Fifth army to retreat. Despite this initial success, after several weeks French reinforcements and German supply problems caused the offensive to grind to a halt.
Using the Great War rules from Warhammer Historical this game recreates a German stormtrooper assault on the British trench lines as the German army attempts to break through.
Great War Miniatures are owned by Aly Morrison and Dave Andrews and they do all the sculpting of the miniatures. They both also work for Games Workshop, Aly as a miniature sculptor and Dave as a hobby designer.
Retreat from Mons 1914.
Presented by Gravesend Wargaming Club
The Battle of Mons took place on the 23rd August 1914 and involved the British Expeditionary Force withdrawing from an exposed position. This led to further engagements during the coming days.
Using the Great War rules from Warhammer Historical this game portrays the defence of a canal on the right flank of the BEF, near the village of Obourg, by D Company, 4th Middlesex Regt. While pressed by Germans from the 75th and 85th Regiments of the 18th division, D Company completed a fighting retreat to prevent them becoming outflanked by German cavalry.
Phil Turner and Tony Rodwell are both members of Gravesend Wargames club and typify the historical wargamer- passionate about history, collecting, painting and enjoying a decent game. There are many clubs and people like this around the country.
Phil has a particular interest in the Great War, his grandad signed up in August 1914 and joined the 12th Middlesex Regt, finishing the war as a Captain, DCM, MM and Bar and 2 “Mentioned in Despatches”.
To quote Phil “a great bloke and fantastic grandad”.
The Battle of El Teb and the Siege of Mafeking
Presented by Perry Miniatures
The Battle of El Teb 1884 was the first of the war in the Sudan against Mahdist forces in which the British Army was involved. After stiff opposition British forces won the day against the fanatical and entrenched Beja tribes.
During the course of the weekend, Perry Miniatures will also be presenting the Siege of Mafeking 1899 which occurred during the Boer War. Lord Baden Powell led the defence of Mafeking for 217 days despite being outnumbered 6 to 1 and events here led to the birth of the Scout movement.
This table was seen on the BBC2 programme about Baden Powells book “Scouting for Boys” presented by Ian Hislop.
Perry Miniatures are owned by Alan and Michael Perry, and they do all the sculpting of the miniatures. They both also work for Games Workshop as miniature sculptors.
