About BattleGroup South: Where History Meets the Tabletop

Welcome to BattleGroup South, one of the premier communities dedicated to the art, strategy, and fellowship of historical wargaming. Whether you are a master painter of 20mm infantry, a tactical genius on the hex grid, or a history buff looking to see the Great Captains’ maneuvers come to life, you’ve found your frontline.

Our Mission: Bridging the Gap Between History and Hobby

At BattleGroup South, we believe that wargaming is more than just a pastime—it’s a living tribute to military history. Our mission is to foster a vibrant community where enthusiasts can:

Recreate History: From the hedgerows of Normandy to the vast sands of El Alamein, we bring historical accuracy to the tabletop.

Master the Craft: We celebrate the artistry of miniature painting, terrain building, and diorama composition.

Build Community: We connect traders, gamers, and historians to ensure the legacy of wargaming continues for the next generation.

What We Do

BattleGroup South is best known for our legendary Wargaming Shows. These events are the heart of our society, featuring:

Traders & Manufacturers: The best place to find niche kits, rare rulebooks, and the latest miniature releases.

The "Bring & Buy" Market: A staple of our community where hobbyists can trade their veteran armies and find their next project.

Participation Games: Dive straight into the action! Our members host immersive games where anyone can take command and learn the rules of the world’s most famous battle systems.

More Than Just a Game

We are deeply committed to the people who lived the history we recreate. BattleGroup South is proud of its long-standing connection with WWII veterans and our ongoing support for charities like Combat Stress. We don't just roll dice; we raise funds and awareness for the men and women who have served in the armed forces. For us, every miniature on the table represents a story worth remembering.
