I will be doing a FoW 20mm Defense of the Reich German Panzer vs Soviet Guards Demo Game
Table-top strategy games with miniature models have led to a
number of Kapiti wargamers and modellers working with Sir Peter Jackson and the
Weta Workshop on his World War 1 Battle of Chunuk Bair diorama project. The
club has enjoyed local and international media exposure following their involvement
with Sir Peter’s Gallipoli project. They offer the public the opportunity to
come see for themselves how it is done:
The Kapiti Wargames Club (KWC) have their annual Open Day on
Sunday 7 June from 10 am at the Paraparaumu Community Centre (Ngahina Street,
Paraparaumu). This annual event (open to the public) showcases the modelling
and painting talents of local figure painters and wargamers. The event offers
the public an opportunity to try their hand at table-top strategy games.
Demonstration and display games this year will include a
Maori Pa Battle Display, World War 2 Eastern Front (Attack on Germany) Tank Battles, Fantasy and
Futuristic Science Fiction battle displays.
There will also be a display on the club’s involvement with
the WW1 diorama at the Great War Exhibition.
The range of games played include those based on historical
fact, fictionalised fact, fantasy and futuristic games. Popular genres currently
include Warhammer, Warhammer 40K, Flames
of War, Lord of the Rings, Warmachine, Firestorm Armada and Star Wars X-Wing.
Many other genres feature from time to time. The club also offers strategy
based board gaming and card-based strategy games, such as Magic, The Gathering.
The KWC is a youth friendly environment, with supervised
introductory gaming activities for younger players from 4pm; and a session for
more mature or experienced players from 7pm. Players of all grades, new and
