Rules co-written by long-time club member Paul Hancock: All Arms Ground Combat for the period 1942 to 2010 100 pages + markers and Quick Reference Sheet. Manoeuvre Group is designed to fight all arms actions using forces up to a Company Group (Battle Group in US terminology), in an evening. That is up to 8 tanks, 1 or 2 platoons of supporting infantry and their supporting close reconnaissance, engineering and artillery assets.
Manoeuvre Group's emphasis is just that, the command of manoeuvre units to eliminate the enemy: the reading of the ground, timing and employment of all arms assets are the key to winning a battle. The player will spend more time moving units about to exploit weaknesses in the enemy's plan than calculation of hit factors and dice rolling.

Terrain Warehouse
Terrain Warehouse came directly from our experiences running a wargaming club, we found that most of the scenery we needed did not exist and in designing the scenery for the club we could create worthwhile pieces that would appeal to all gamers. We also discovered a singularly devoid market in the materials we needed, we then decided to set up Terrain Warehouse as a one company does all in the scenery market. Our aim is to have under one banner all you could possibly need within scenery from castles to scatter and from gaming boards to paints.
Terrain Warehouse are offering between 10% and 15% discount to club members on the products they sell.
