Maidstone Wargames Society

Maidstone Wargames Society Maidstone Wargames Society is a long-established club devoted to miniature wargaming of all kinds. We are based in Maidstone, Kent, England. From 10am to 5pm.

We meet on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. The Society members play a wide range of Historical, Fantasy and Science Fiction miniatures gaming. We are a pretty cosmopolitan bunch and we are always open to new members. There is always at least one game open to someone turning up to a meeting. We cover just about every period and figure scale from ancient history to future worlds; on la

nd, at sea, or in the air. We use most of the well known and upcoming rulesets and our own home grown rules. Campaigns currently underway include regular Gaslands Racedays, 1/600 scale WW2 Air War over Germany, together with our long running 1/3000 scale WWI Naval campaign and 20mm Vietnam campaign. We also have an annual Fields of Glory league and DBA competition for society members. We meet from 10.00 to 17.00, on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, at Linton Village Hall, Linton Hill (A229), Maidstone. Free parking is available across the road in the Linton Village Car Park. For further information please phone club secretary Brian Simons on (0780) 3009504, or you can contact us via this page.

Book Review – Tiger Tracks

Tony F dives into an explosive WW2 memoir - or does he? Tiger Tracks by Wolfgang Faust Written in the late 1940s by a former Tiger tank driver, this book supposedly shocked the post-war German public in its depiction of the savagery of the fighting on the Eastern front. It tells the story of a Tiger company during a 3-day battle to defend a river crossing point and allow as much of the retreating German army to escape as possible....

Work in Progress Wednesday

We're back to our normal progress for a Wednesday. We start this week with Phil having reduced a 3D print of a beast of Mordor down to 10mm scale. I think it came out well. Sticking with the Lord of the Rings theme and Tony F has made a start on some 10mm Rohirrim cavalry. The base colours are to give the horses some variety....

Work in Progress Wednesday Special – Blasted Trees!

We are having a little detour this week. Member Stephen produced some blasted trees and we thought it would be a good idea to ask Stephen to show how easy it is to create such striking scenery. Blasted Trees DIY This building project came about because we had a game of Clash of Rhyfles in the club diary and, with the setting being a World War One analogue, I decided to create some themed terrain items....

Monty’s Functional Doctrine – Book Review

Chairman Mark J shares his thoughts on a book looking at the British combined arms doctrine during WW2. Monty's Functional Doctrine - Combined Arms Doctrine In British 21st Army Group In Northwest Europe, 1944-45 By Charles Forrester Hellion 2015 I really enjoyed Monty's Functional Doctrine as it offered a fresh and evidence based assessment of Montgomery's leadership and the way he shaped 21st Army Group....

Work in Progress Wednesday

Welcome to another Wednesday, we start this week with something very different from Tony F, these are some sort of spirits from Games Workshop, not sure what they are but Tony did mention having to build these three bases from 24 different pieces! Moving on and Stephen has been painting up so 15mm sci-miniatures as laser sword wielding adventurers. He's also been painting up this rather splendid looking Norman Warlord....

Work in Progress Wednesday

We've had a change in weather in these parts, but the sudden sunshine has not reduced productivity. We start this week with Tony F who has succumbed to the lure of the Quar, having picked up a box set of figures at the recent Salute wargaming show. Next up and Mark J continues with his WW2 German infantry. And two Churchill tanks getting ready to face them....
