WWII Wargaming

 The display this year was run by Tim Marshall using his terrain, model vehicles and figures.  The scale was mixed 1/72 and 1/76 or what is often called in the wargaming world "20mm".  Unlike last year, no demo game was played - this was a static display of late war Germans versus US forces in Europe.
