Welcome to Wigan Tabletop Games Club
Don't forget to use the 'Manage Participation' button on the Calendar Event page to indicate whether you will be attending.
Sunday Opening - 12pm until late
We are a tabletop miniature wargaming, boardgame and RPG club based in Winstanley, Wigan. We run regular gaming nights every Friday and Sunday from 7pm until late plus the occasional all day event (check out our calendar to see what's coming up).
On any given evening you might find members playing a variety of Euro and Ameritrash board games, miniature wargames and role playing games. You can also expect to find a few members painting up their latest forces and engaging in a spot of modelling (no, not like that!)
Check out what we've been up to in our forum pages and, if you like what you see, get registered and introduce yourself to the rest of the gang. Better still, come down, see us in person and get gaming.
Club opening times, fees and activities
Opening times: Friday and Sunday Evenings, 7pm until late.
Fees: Your first visit to the club is always free so you can get a feel of who we are and have brew and a chat. After that is £3 per night, or £10 a month via standing order.
Activities: Any type of boardgame/miniature gaming/painting and model making is welcomed at any club meet but over time we have found a typical week see Fridays more board game focused and Sundays more miniature game focus, though this is never a fixed thing and is entirely dependant on individuals organising what they will play and when. We also typically see people painting and modelling at the club, and we have tables and lighting to support that.

Replied to the thread Don't stand so close to me.PostThe system was taken from a set of "Modern" wargame rules from 1985, published by Tabletop Games (where Ansell and Priestley started).
I think the system of dice in a bag which Bolt Action uses was copied from it, based on who is at Warlord Games. -

Replied to the thread Don't stand so close to me.PostThink that was what they were using multiphase reactions for, so it wasn't quite so black and white. -

Replied to the thread Don't stand so close to me.PostThere seems to be a trend that whomsoever goes first in GW games, wins the battle.
It's a trend that's been there for over 40 years, since the 1st Ed. of Warhammer Fantasy.
What you could do is use the Initiative value (I) for the units.
For each I you… -

Replied to the thread Black Shields.PostI thought I had posted a comment on them this morning from my phone, but I don't see it here.
Those 3D printed figures are very impressive, even before the painting !
If you're starting wargaming now, you should buy a 3D printer before a paintbrush -
