UK Grand Tournament  2016 Report: Part One with Anders Johansson A big thank you to all the players from all across Europe, the US and, of course the UK for attending to the 2016 edition of the UK Grand tournament and making it such a successful event. I also like to thanks those who showed off their exceptional painting and sculpting abilities as part of the Iron Cross painting competition; the Reluctant Conscripts; Mick, Tommy, and Alex for their role in organising the event and doing such as great job during the lead up and ensuring that all the information reach those who needed it.

A great job was also done by Battlefield Hobbies who provided an excellent venue and dedicated team who knew what it took to run and event like this. On behalf of everybody involved; we hope to see you all again next year. Read Part Two here... ~ Anders.
