Panzerschreck 2015
At the Riverdale School Hall, Palmerston North

Once again Panzerschreck, the world's longest-running Flames Of War tournament, has come and gone over the weekend of the 11th and 12th July 2015 in Palmerston North.

As always, it was a lively weekend of gaming fun, not dampened by the chilly winter conditions.
