I'm moving to the Radnor area from Pittsburgh for a new job and was wondering about the local wargaming scene/clubs? I have miniatures and scenery for 20mm WWII and moderns along with 28mm WWII. I've played Disposable Heroes, Force on Force, Ambush Alley, etc. but I'm currently trying to familiarize myself with the Battlegroup series, particularly the Kursk and Fall of the Reich books. I'm also open to playing different types of historical wargames, but am currently not looking to invest in a new scale or period. Thanks |

Hi. I'm in Upper Dublin ( about 20-25 minutes away from Radnor ) and play the Battlegroup rules in 20mm. Drop me a line after you get to the Philly area. k.portner@ verizon.net |

I seem to recall a group from Ambler, PA that posts here. They'd be just northeast of the Radnor area. |
