Description

This group is designed to encourage exploration of the colourful world that existed in the era of Australian colonial history around the 1880’s to 1890’s, when the colonial governments of Australia feared that a Russian invasion was imminent. We are hoping to encourage gamers to explore the “what if” scenarios through recreating of this period on the Wargames table.

The group will explore the issues of the various colonial governments through online discussion, model making and design, colonial force construction and ship design and through the sharing of information.

Your Group moderators are Greg, Cameron and I, Andrew. All group members are welcome to add anything they like and participate in all group activities.

To keep the Russian Hordes from Hearth and Home! To arms! The foeman,
he comes! he comes!
