I'm travelling to Lisbon soon and was curious if there are any wargaming shops that I should try to hit? I'll be doing the tourist thing most days, but will have extra time to walk the city. Thanks – Allen |

All worthy shops I know of are now closed, crushed under the current crisis.
Maybe look for GW directions in Lisbon, there used to be two places but at least one is off.
I do not know if 'Homem Azul' is still opened, a place by a small town garden that's not unpleasant. They seemed to live mostly on FOW sales, but now activity seems to have waned.
There are two gaming clubs, I'm no longer a member but may give you some contacts. Clubs are paid but I can make sure they will not charge a one time visitor. Under very heavy work I no longer have the time for regular club attendance.
Mail me if interested.
PS: if you'd dare to visit my dark cave you could try AWE 10, no randomizers, at the cost of some discretion until it is released (hopefully soon). |

I forgot: Lisbon is not in Spain (for the time being). |

Thanks for the info Jerboa…fully aware that Lisbon is not Spain, but it is the closest geographically in the country war gaming lists on TMP so I thought that those reading the Spain list might be able to help. |
