KwaZulu Natal Championships Results

The South African Wargames Union held its annual  KwaZulu Natal Championshipson the weekend of 13 and 14 July 2002 at the Linpark High School, Boughton, Pietermaritzburg.

 Once again the Old Edwardian Wargames Club dominated the figure gaming events. However, Simon Peckham (of Pietermaritzburg) managed to fight his way through to first place in a championship which in the past ten years has only been won by a Natalian once before.

 Another interesting development concerning the results is that the players selected to represent South Africa in March did not feature as well as expected. The improvement of younger players can only but bode well for the future of wargaming in South Africa.
