Last Sunday the Little Wars Canberra 2018 event was held at the Vikings Club in Lanyon and here are photos of most of the games. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves as usual, checking out or playing the various participation games and buying essential gaming supplies from the traders! A big thanks to Greg, Ian and Leigh who organised everything, with all proceeds going to the Soldier On charity. I'll post photos from our Command and Colors Ancients, Battle of Hydaspes game separately as I took quite a few pics.

  1. Was the theme desert warfare? A lot of fine looking battles set in arid theaters.
    Awaiting details on your CCA game.

    1. Thanks Aaron, I'll post photos and details of the Hydaspes games soon. We played two games with identical results - the Macedonians won 7-6 but Alexander' was killed in both games!
