Dear all,
My name is Tony Banks and I am a gamer in Sth Korea. I would love to get together with others with interests either similar or divergent with mine. I am most keen on ancients and ww2. I am interested in DBA and Basic Impetus for ancients/medievals (have the full Impetus rules , too), and 1-72/76/20mm ww2 Rapid Fire! but would consider other periods/genres/rules & systems, too if it meant getting some games in! I also have FOW rules and a few supplements and would consider that too for a period I don't game in 20mm. Anyway, my email is fareast51@hotmail.co.uk
I would appreciate any contact from fellow gamers because I have my own English school and would love to set up a small club. In any case, if possible, get in touch and we might be able to set something up.
Looking forward to hearing from you all soon. I now there are some of you out there!
Best wishes,
Tony Banks |

Tony, There used to be a gaming group in an English school in Tong du Chong outside of Camp Casey a few years back. Try searching the message boards. |

Where at in Korea?
I know there used to be (many moons ago), a small group in/around Camp Walker/Henry in Taegu…. |

Dear all,
I am based just 30min south of Seoul, in a commuter town called Sanbon.
I will check previous message boards re groups on US bases/posts in Korea, but from what I've heard, security is a little tighter these days. Could be wrong, though.
Regards,
Tony Banks |

Sorry Tony can't help with South Korea but there is one TMP in North Korea! I am considering a transfer to Korea for a three year teaching assignment but that is not open for the next 24 months. After that I just might be in Pusan. VR

I forwarded your contact info to a wargaming friend I know working in S. Korea, hopefully you will hear from him. :) Adrian |

Tony, I've dropped you an email. BTW S.Korea is also rather large, so it will be difficult for people in different cities to meet regularly.
For example, it takes around 4+ hours to reach Pusan from Seoul, or around 2+ hours to reach Taegu. But then again, almost a third of the country's whole population are living in Seoul  |

Tony, if you ever make it to the sub continent Neil (reinforcements by post) is in Bangladesh and I'm in Calcutta! |

Tony, I don't have anything here in country to game with but if you wanted to host a game, I sure would enjoy the company of another gamer! I'm way up here in Dongducheon/Bosan so couldn't do anything with regularity. I'll be in country 'till years end. Dave |

Tony, I'm arriving in Seoul on thursday for a couple months at least. There is a small group of us in Seoul – a couple of us have some miniatures and I usually bring ancients but won't be able to this time due to other travel. We play FOG and one of the other guys has a good collection of 15s. For the most part we play boardgames. WIF is popular and I will be bringing couple other board-wargames. You can sign up on the Yahoo group ROKgamers – it's not very active at the moment but still is a handy way to keep in touch. I office in Gaesan Digital Complex and stay not far from there. |

Tony, contact Jeff Franz @ scubadiverjeff@yahoo.com he is stationed in Korea for a year and is an avid DBA player. Tell him I sent you. |

TMP in North Korea?! I would have thought that the only person allowed to indulge in such a dangerous hobby would be the Dear Leader himself… |

TMP in North Korea?! I would have thought that the only person allowed to indulge in such a dangerous hobby would be the Dear Leader himself… The Dear Leader, in all his graciousness, has given his blessings so that a select few from the highest echelons of the War Council can participate too. But I think that was just an excuse to get other people to play with him!

Yep, I was that TMPer in North Korea, being there from November 2007 to February 2009. Had a stack of rules and figures, but no one to play against :( Perhaps, I would have asked the Dear Leader if he was interested, but fear that if he did agree to a game he would turn out to be a bit of a rules lawyer. The only vaguely game related item I saw was a terrain board showing the layout of the Panmunjom DMZ area. Which due to a quirk of the armistace line the border runs east-west rather than north-south as I always thought it did. Ezza |

You might also have found yourself 'kept on' as a kind of captive wargames buddy – rather like the character in the Evelyn Waugh story who was trapped up the Amazon reading Dickens aloud to his 'host'… |
