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.

Upcoming Osprey Offerings
Some goodies for May.
Absolute Emperor - Osprey Publishing
"a mass battle wargame that provides all the rules needed to play during this period of grand armies..."
Also
Imperium: Legends - Osprey Publishing & Imperium: Classics - Osprey Publishing
Looks like the Civilization game to me.

Re: Upcoming Osprey Offerings
Unbelievably, the copy of Absolute Emperor that was ordered yesterday afternoon arrived this morning.
So I have to praise Nannyogg999 for their excellent service, especially when you remember they are not published for another week!
I'm thinking that my 6mm forces, built for the 2 by 2 rules will be used 'as is'.
Cheers
