New Army sets
We have just added a new range of army sets to our web store. If you haven't currently got Rules of Engagement and are looking to start the hobby in a big way then these are perfect for you. There are two types, one which contains everything including rules, paints and miniatures and a second type which just includes miniatures. Both represent value for money and are an excellent way to either start gaming Rules of Enagagement or building a new force.
