As ever, if you don't have a

found for you in whatever is going on. We are
currently short of miniatures game organisers, so if you
are miniatures wargamers and are looking for a game, try
to let
Lawrence
know what armies you are willing to bring to the meeting
in advance and what rules system you want to play so
that we can try to let other members of like interest
know in advance.

After Action Reports from Past Meetings
We were in the news again in the now defunct Australian bi-monthly
magazine Broadsword, issue 10 of which carried an illustrated in
depth introduction to HKSW. They also reprinted a couple of
articles from old issues of
Despatches. Jeff Herbert and Michael Withington, fame (if not
fortune) await you; your articles, respectively, on the "Successors" and
"Wargaming Blitzkrieg" were continued in issues 11 and 13.
We also made the press in issue 528 of HK magazine, which ran an article
on the offbeat clubs of Hong Kong. We rubbed shoulders with the
likes of the Condoms of the Month Club (the mind boggles) and the
Hong Kong Laughter Club
(if they want a real laugh, they should come along to one of our club
meetings). We weren't shed in too bad a light, although needless to
say, they got some of the facts wrong. Read the full report
here.
As most of you will already know, we made it into the pages of the South
China Morning Post. You can read the full article by clicking on
the image of the page on the right. Whilst not entirely accurate,
it has not done us any disservice, as we have had several approaches by
potential members since its publication. We have also been asked
to stage a two-day event at Cyber Port in mid-April 2007. Such is
the power of the press . . .
As a consequence of which, HKSW's first ever war and strategy
game show was staged at Cyberport on the weekend of 21/22 April 2007.
Latest magazine to feature an article on the HKSW is the Japanese
wargaming publication "Command". See what they said
here.
The competition to identify the manufacturer of the pictured figures is
still open to the world at large - no successful responses yet - look
here
for details.
