I will be vacationing in Massanutten Va starting 6/26. I was wondering if there are any stores that sell wargaming stuff in the area.
We will be touring the New Market battlefield while we are there. |

Last I recall there wasn't much if anything, certainly no historical miniature shops. I could be wrong. The only thing I know for sure is if you want good terrain contact Doug Kline of Battlefield Terrain Concepts ( battlefieldterrain.com ) and see if you can stop by to see some of the best terrain you'll ever have the opportunity to buy. |

Granted, he's in Roanoke, VA, which is a bit of a trek, but totally worth it. |

Dragon's Hoard in Staunton is good for Sci fi, GW and terrain, really good shop. LOTS of Flames of War.
In Charlottesville, we have a small amonunt of GW stuff at a shop called The End, and two nice hobbyshops, The Game Place, downtown, full line hobby shop that carries GW and War machine, and a decent amount of plastic models, plus a limited amount of Ospreys. We also have a Hobby town which has a ton of 1/72 armor. These are all about 45 to 60 minutes from Massanutten. Alas, no dedicated historical Shop! Hope this helps,

Thanks guys, All the shop sources around me (Philadelphia area) have dried up over the years. I used to buy at Jenkintown Hobby, but sadly Bob and Josie split up and the business went with the marriage (at least that is the story I was told). Some of the local Allied Hobby Shops used to carry Avalon Hill, Victory Games and SPI. In fact I got my first taste on miniatures from an Allied Hobby shop in NE Phila that sold Fire and Fury. I thought "This is rally cool!" Bought it and went back and bought their last bag of minifigs (and I mean their last bag as they did not restock). Then I found Jenkintown with Stone Mountain and Essex (later OG) and saw a brochure for Cold Wars. After that I was totally hooked. Sad to see that there are so few opportunities outside of fantasy stuff (although it is good to see a trend towards adding FoW stuff to the fantasy lines). |
