Hi all! I'm thinking of taking my first steps into Napoleonic wargaming, but I wanted to be sure I'd have people to play with. My home's in southern Fairfield County, CT and I'm a student at Susquehanna University, PA. not too far from Harrisburg. I was hoping that there were some clubs or organizations not too far from either location. If so, what size miniatures and rules are the norm?

the Susquehanna, POC Michael Bell, 3621 Brookfield Road, Harrisburg, PA, they are a HMGS club

There are a couple Napoleonic players in Bridgewater, a few around Hartford, and some others scattered about the shore and the Northwest corner. Check out these blogs to see if what we do is of interest.

Hm, Bridgewater's just about an hour from Norwalk, where my home is. I'll be returning to classes in just a few days, so PA will be my primary spot for a while until I come back to Norwalk on breaks and over the summers.

Not having a car does limit the places I can go. But I could ride a bus to Harrisburg and walk or get picked up somewhere.

Barry and I are in Bridgewater, less than an hour's drive up Route 7 from Norwalk. I grew up in Greenwich, and my Mom is still down there, so I am down that way to visit from time to time. I think the train still runs from Norwalk to Danbury, which is less than 20 minutes away, so we could probably pick you up and drop you off until you get wheels. We could certainly plan a game for when you're home in November or Dec/Jan breaks.
