Flames of War is the popular miniatures game that allows players to recreate the battles of World War 2 and so experience the war from the point of view of a front-line company commander.

Games are fought between two players where each player takes turns to move, shoot and fight with their miniatures aided by simple rules, dice and tape measures.

Wings of War is a miniatures/ collectible card game that recreates plane-to-plane combat in either the WW1 or WW2 periods.

Games are fought between as many players as we have available planes. Each player plans his moves with combat resolved using tape measures and a damage deck.

We invite people who have not played before to experience the excitement of face to face game play.

Want to attend?

Take command of a battered company of Russians on the Eastern Front, early 1942. Or climb into the back of a cart taking you to a front-line Allied airbase in April 1917. Not ready yet? Well, war is hell. Besides, your new friends from the Meetup Group will be assisting you in learning the ropes.

Generally, we can get in several WOW games or two FOW games in a night.

There was a question about time. Read more
