Hi everyone, I wish to ask if any of you know anyone
who might be interested in World War II naval
miniature games, I used to play General Quarters 3.3
by Old Dominion Game Works but had to stop for a
while due to unforeseeable circumstances and would
like to start again, I can arrange demo tutorial
games if needed
大家好，想問一問大家有無認識人有興趣玩二戰海戰遊戲，我之前玩Old
Dominion Game Works的General Quarters
3.3但因故中斷一段時間現在想重新開始，可以示範教學體驗。 |

If you don't have a
confirmed game, come along anyway, and a
spot will be found for you in whatever is going on.
We are currently short of miniatures game organisers, so
if you are miniatures wargamers and are looking for a
game, try to let
Lawrence
Ho
know what armies you are willing to bring to the meeting
in advance and what rules system you want to play so
that we can try to let other members of like interest
know in advance.

After Action Reports from Past Meetings
We were in the news again in the now defunct Australian bi-monthly
magazine Broadsword, issue 10 of which carried an illustrated in
depth introduction to HKSW. They also reprinted a couple of
articles from old issues of
Despatches. Jeff Herbert and Michael Withington, fame (if not
fortune) await you; your articles, respectively, on the "Successors" and
"Wargaming Blitzkrieg" were continued in issues 11 and 13.
We also made the press in issue 528 of HK magazine, which ran an article
on the offbeat clubs of Hong Kong. We rubbed shoulders with the
likes of the Condoms of the Month Club (the mind boggles) and the
Hong Kong Laughter Club
(if they want a real laugh, they should come along to one of our club
meetings). We weren't shed in too bad a light, although needless to
say, they got some of the facts wrong. Read the full report
here.
As most of you will already know, we made it into the pages of the South
China Morning Post. You can read the full article by clicking on
the image of the page on the right. Whilst not entirely accurate,
it has not done us any disservice, as we have had several approaches by
potential members since its publication. We were as a result asked
to stage a two-day event at Cyber Port in mid-April 2007. Such is
the power of the press . . .
As a consequence, HKSW's first ever war and strategy
game show was staged at Cyberport on the weekend of 21/22 April 2007.
Another magazine to feature an article on the HKSW is the Japanese
wargaming publication "Command". See what they said
here.
 The
latest publication with a feature on the HKSW, the "Macao Daily News",
wrote about the 2016 HKSW De Bellis Magistrorum Militum (DBMM)
competition. The article attempts to introduce miniature wargaming
to its readers and explains the misconceptions about wargaming generally
held by the public. The report explains that the
HKSW is an organisation that promotes wargaming in Hong Kong and, in
addition to hosting regular meetings twice per month, holds competitions
annually. In Hong Kong, DBMM is the most popular miniature
wargame system simulating ancient battles and this year's competition
successfully attracted many participating players from overseas,
including from Thailand, Taiwan and New Zealand. The link to the
article on the Macao Daily News website can be found
here.
