Bristol Big'Uns
Welcome to our forums. The Bristol Big'Uns are a group of people who enjoy fantasy, science fiction and historical wargames. We tend to play mostly table-top wargames but you will sometimes see CCGs, CMGs, RPGs or board games. If this sounds like a hobby you currently enjoy then why not come along. The club is based at Iron Acton, between Bristol and Yate, in the recently refurbished Parish Hall and is held Sunday evenings from 6 pm until 10 pm. There are tables and chairs available plus various sized scenic mats and terrain for table-top wargames. Please bring with you any drinks or snacks that you require.

    Cruel seas on 20th

    Andy,

    I have bought into this, but my stuff won’t arrive until after 20th, so wondered if you be interested in a game on the 20th so I can see how it plays?

    Hi, yes that would be good. My ships will probably still be in their unpainted state though

    Yes that sounds great.

    Sadly I have the grand children staying over all of this weekend so I won't be allowed to sneak out to the birthday bash

    Bring them along, start them early in gaming. Taking the grandkids should earn you brownie points.

    Andy,

    Had a fantastic time. Really great fun game with tons of scope for so many scenarios.

    The British torpedoes were deadly, but the duds helped us survive longer.
