This was certainly the second biggest MB game in terms of player numbers, if not quite in toy numbers (getting on for 1000...).
What can I say...I look good in big furry hats! :D
These big Megablitz games don't fail to disappoint in terms of scale and amount of kit on display. Liked the Naval Infantry too.
Cheers,

It was good to see the Naval Infantry in use again - their last outing was some years ago!
That is an especially cool mix of kit Tim, great post
I'll look into transport options down to Shrivenham for the next one.
Cheers,
Pete.
A mans life is not complete without a armoured train of some sort.
