Groups

Groups is the new addition to the Wargamer Collection Calculator family. It has been built to be flexible for users and hopefully meet the needs of their wargames clubs and organisations. We wanted it to appeal to individuals as well as their clubs, societies and friends as well as traders, shops and gamers.
