I’m sure there are entries missed for games played, but we can see that the Marvel: Crisis Protocol powerhouse continues and Team Yankee is showing some great growth. We obviously had an influx of 40K players and Battletech: Alpha Strike exploded out onto the scene. SAGA had a good run thanks to Ross’s campaign and Lord of the Rings has had a big resurgence.
It’s back again, the popular Group North Flames of War competition.

Come and join us to try and sell your excess game or to come and buy the games you can’t find anywhere else.
23rd of March.
The club will be closed to non-members on the 16th of August 2023 as we hold our AGM. Plenty of regular gaming still available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Go and checkout the Flames North competition page to see the latest Mid-war Flames of War competition coming to Group North.
The guest attendance program has been changed from just four free visits to any number of visits. Guests will have to cover a $10 door fee, but for their first six visits the cost will be only $5. Juniors can come for half-price and have a non-gaming guardian come for free.
This change makes it easier for infrequent gamers to come along and play on our Wednesday, Friday and Sunday sessions without having to become a member. Membership is encouraged with a cheaper door fee and access to other benefits.
The small scale Flames of Wars games are back for 2023.
More details at the Firefight page.
From the start of 2023 the society is open on our regular Wednesday sessions with the addition of Friday night sessions (currently popular with the Marvel Crisis Protocol crowd) and regular Sunday sessions (popular for big game days). Three chances a week to join us.
We have removed the 4 free visits limit for guests. You can now attend up to six time for $10 a visit and after that $15 a visit. You can join as a member any time (currently $50 for the half year) to attend for $5 a visit, or pre-pay for 6 months at $125 and attend any number of sessions. With three sessions per week that’s great value.
The 2023 competition schedule is starting with Crows Feast on Saturday May 27th. Check out the Crows Feast page for details.
