The Irregulars – who are we?
The Rotorua Irregulars are a sub-group of the Rotorua Wargames Club. We are the historical players who seldom seem to find the time to organise ourselves to get down to the games day at Malfroy Primary School hall on the second Sunday of each month. As such, we try to meet monthly at someone’s house when as many members as possible are available. This way, hopefully, we see a bit more regular gaming.
The core founding members are: Chris Hill, John Norton, Chris Shorthall, Nathan Ward and Paul Whittaker. We are open to any other gamers to join.
Our main periods are 15mm Napoleonics, and 15mm World War Two (Flames of War), but our members also have 28mm ancients for Warhammer Ancient Battles, 28mm Napoleonics and World War Two, 28mm English Civil War, 28mm World War One and a variety of other periods. We are always open to new gamers.
The idea of the Irregulars is that each of the core members takes it in turn to host a game at their place. It is up to the host to decide what game is to be played, what rules are to be used and to organise the armies and terrain. The host is also responsible for refreshments for hungry and thirsty players, and has the final say in any rules disputes.
One of the things that worries us is that by not getting down to the club often enough, a number of younger or new players are missing out on historical wargaming when there seems to be quite an interest. By making this group, we hope to get a few of these newcomers involved and enthusiastic.
So once a month or more this blog will be updated with the latest game and any news from the Rotorua Irregulars. We’ll start off with our inaugural meeting on Friday 3rd October.
