I am based there with over 7000 of my Napolonic troops, who else is there. "Donlorwy" I know your somewhere in California, I was just wondering where?

aecurtis Fezian24 Jan 2009 11:07 a.m. PST

Don Lowry, perhaps?

I'm in Barstow, but I don't play Napolonics…

Many moons ago there were Napoleonic players at CSU Northridge.

I'd suggest running a game or two at local cons. Print and distribute cards with contact info.

I'm in the S.F. Valley, but the only Napoleonics I'm interested in are the ships. There are some Napoleonic gamers amongst the St. Crispin's group in Anaheim.

This group is a little North of your area, but there are members that live down your way.

Hit the HMGS SW guys up. They should be able to get you in contact with some players or let you know about their events so you can run a game and find more people to play. There are lots of options regarding conventions. I agree, run a game and print up flyers to get more players.

I love the Napoleonics, and play Napoleons Battles in 6mm. I'm in Riverside.

I have not lived there in 10 years, but there where a fair number of gamers in the LA area. my only problem was they only played Napoleons battles, which I did not like at all. try to find the Last Grenadier in Pasadena. They have a lot of historicals going on there, and are taped into many of the groups in the area.

I'm in Hemet, in Riverside Cty.

Allen: You don't play Napoleonics???

aecurtis Fezian24 Jan 2009 2:55 p.m. PST

Yes, of course I play Napoleonics, Don. But I don't play Napolonics. It sounds too much like inserting a bricole into an uncomfortable place, although something along those lines seems to be a popular TMP activity among those of a Napoleonic bent.

Well shut my bricole! ;)

Yep, they've moved… three times (?) since we got here 19 years ago.

Goodness, Fall Rot, you're about as close as anyone to me. Just a hop, skip, and a jump across 58.

reggie88: Where are you?

reggie8826 Jan 2009 4:55 p.m. PST

Hi "Donlowry"! I used to live in Inglewood and play napoloenics with my friends Matt and Dave. I live now in Kansas City, Mo., but my armies are still with Dave in CA.

donlowry26 Jan 2009 5:20 p.m. PST

I see. Sort of. Well, I used to live in Topeka, but nobody's perfect.

I also live in the San Fernando valley. ( Reseda) I would like to play WSS or Rennaisance Games

The Last Grenadier … I bought something from them via the mail just this last fall …

Cheers,
