This year marks the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings. KWC will use the Open Day to mark this historic event. Players plan to re-fight the Sword Beach Landings in 20mm with the Battles for Ouistreham, Pegasus Bridge and Melville Battery.

Needless to say, Warhammer 40K and Fantasy will be well represented, and hopefully also Warmachine and Flames of War in 15mm.
