MMMR 2009, in the aftermath.

My Flames of War gaming group attended the Midlands Military Meet and Rendezvous this year, displaying both our gaming models aand more importantly, the Normandy 1944 gaming tables that we have built over the last two years.


The beaches of Normandy.

The RAF provides some pinpoint support while the troops charge across the open sand.

We came away from the weekend very impressed with the results from a community perspective. There were a couple of opportunities to recruit new members, and we spent time in conversation with interesting characters over the two days we attended, including one fine gentleman who had been present on the real battlefields we were depicting as a member of the 7th Armoured Division.

When the event is next held we are likely to be there again with another, even better, display. Or perhaps two.
