Hello, possibility that we may be moving in the next few years…my wife wants to move back to NY..as long as I get a basement I don't care…but then i wondered ,what area in US is highest pop. density for ancients wargamers

Griefbringer21 Aug 2009 5:13 a.m. PST

Probably in the areas with highest population density in general?

The Heartland of HMGS East runs along the I-95 corridor, from Boston to Northern VA. Lots of gaming, lots of gamers.

In Chicago southside my house almost 10,000 ancients! I am working on Punic Wars and finishing off a few other armies, of course it is IMHO. Also a great group of guys to game with! Mike Adams

I think rddfxx may be correct. I-95.

Well considering the number of ancient tournaments at HMGS-East conventions I would say I-95 from lower New York down to the Carolinas.

Check out the ANCMED, WAB, and other ancients groups on Yahoo. Ask where guys are from and I think you will see the UK and Eastern USA are the top two areas. The midwest (Central to Northern Illinois) is another hotbed of ancient wargamers.

Lots of gaming action in PA, NJ, and NYC. Check out the club and Yahoo group links here:

Don't most of the ancient gamers move to warmer climates when they retire?

We play ancients every month at our meetings at Colorado Military Historians in the Denver, Colorado area. We play FoG and Ancient Warfare.

The Washington DC area probably has the largest concentration of DBA gamers;
