When Wargames Are Not Enough

When in the course of my wargamng life I get bored or tired of wargames and wargaming in general, what to do? Hit the books.

Chris, where exactly will the Meetup be located? Although I don't own nor have played any of the games listed, if you can give me a date and time I'll clear my schedule to attend.

Hopefully, you can join us for either a semi-monthly Meetup "pickup" game session, or for one of the more planned games being set up here in the near future. There's general talk of some more Here I Stand, The Napoleonic Wars, and John Prados' Third Reich.

Thanks John. This is cool! Time to donate a 'Fistful More Dollars' to help out.
