Wycombe Warband is the wargaming club serving the High Wycombe and Beaconsfield area in south Buckinghamshire. We play all sorts of historical wargames, from ancient to modern periods, in different scales and using a wide variety of rules sets. If you're new to wargaming, but think you might be interested, click on on the left to find out more about what it's all about. If you're thinking about joining us, read on to find out more about the club.
It's the end of Season 2 of the club's Saga: Dark Age Skirmishes campaign. Basculf the Unwashed has summarised this Season's events as only skalds can, but you can read all the stories of each Faction on these web pages as we continue to monitor their progress through this epic journey.
The club's Blood Bowl League is now in full swing and Neil has been blogging games. There's a lot of Blood Bowl banter on the club's Facebook page so do join in if you're interested!
We put on some demonstration games at Vanquish, a local show in May at Bourne End Community Centre. Thanks from us all to everyone who helped make it happen. It was a very good small show and we look forward to participating again next year.
For up to date information about what's planned for this week, topics we're currently discussing, and general banter take a look at our email list and message board at Wycombe Warband on Yahoo! Groups, and join us if you would like. You can also join our mailing list by sending an email to wycombewarband-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
We also have an active group on Facebook so you can also catch up with us there as well.

We try our best to make sure that a range of different games is always available so that people can play something they enjoy. If you have a game and want to play it then there is sure to be someone willing to give it a go or more likely already a fan. We're currently playing a lot of Saga, Flames of War and X-Wing, but we like to play a lot of games and will have a go at almost anything.
Above all, we set out to make our games enjoyable for everyone to play, and encourage people to take part. Whether you're a new recruit or a seasoned veteran, whether you're young or old, you'll always be welcome to join in, so come along. Have fun pushing some figures around and rolling some dice!
The school is easy to find, has plenty of space for games, free car parking and a subsidised bar that is open most evenings.
We meet every week on a Thursday night from 7.00pm onwards, and occasional Saturdays. Making a day of it allows us to host big battle games, play several different games, or run shorter games several times throughout the day. In addition, we also have occasional wargames evenings and other fixtures. See our calendar of events for up to date details of what's planned over the weeks ahead.
We meet at the National Film & Television School, Station Road, Beaconsfield, HP9 1LG. Tel. 01494 671234. If you can't find where we are in the building tell the security guard you're a wargamer and they'll give you directions.
You can contact us at wycombewarband@yahoogroups.co.uk or HQ@wycombewarband.org if you want to get more information. You're very welcome to just turn up one night but if you've not been before and intend to use the car park please let us know in advance so that we can make sure a space is available.
