First up we have the town of El Segundo, from the collection of, and entirely scratch built by, Kieran Mahony - one of the AWC's more prolific model & terrain makers! It was inspired by the hip-hop song "I left my wallet in El Segundo...": sig-gal/wildwest01 Then we have the AWC version of Deadwood - again this entire town is scratch built, this time by Roundie (Wayne) Steward, another of the AWC's more prolific modellers (and possibly its most prolific figure painter)...: sig-gal/wildwest02 David Farrier of Nightline (TV3's 10pm News Show) investigates wargaming in New Zealand (with lots of Auckland Wargamers evident in the footage - which may or may not be a good thing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PBkisvuzf0 An assortment of Modern Era Soviet forces from the collection of Kieran Mahony: sig-gal/modern01 |

"I have never yet met in little battle any military gentleman, any captain, major, colonel, general, or eminent commander, who did not presently get into difficulties and confusions among even the elementary rules of the Battle. You have only to play at Little Wars three or four times to realise just what a blundering thing Great War must be." - H. G. Wells (Little Wars - 1913). |
