"TWWS Maps" are a set showing the wider area and then more detailed road plans when you get near and in the village. The next set of documents gives details of how to get to the venue of our Wargames Show, Cavalier. The document gives brief details of rail and bus access and includes maps and written directions for drivers approaching from round about. The final page is a sketch map showing the immediate area round the venue and is also suitable for visitors arriving by rail or on foot.

Rank and File

For many years the Society ran its own magazine, called Rank and File. The contributions were made by many members and covered a variety of matters. There were a great many battle reports, written usually in the form of memoirs of the officers who had fought. These are very often amusing with plenty of anecdotes recording the activities, successes and dismal failures of the participants. There are also reports on visits to the early wargames shows, some of which were already quite large, others smaller. Some later magazines contain articles about painting your models and collecting more obscure armies.

The files have been created from the original documents, which have been scanned. Personal contact details of members have been redacted. Please click the links below in order to read them.

In some cases the quality may not be ideal, but the please bear in mind that the earliest ones date back to the 1970's. The files are all PDFs; they are collated into Zip files, covering specific periods of time, that you may download and extract. We hope you enjoy reading what is in part a potted history of the Society.
