What should the collective noun for a group of wargamers be? After a memorable incident at last year's Briscon, I'm going with "Waft".

How about a "roll?" We roll dice. And some of us sport a middle age roll around our waist.
Hafen von Schlockenberg	05 Mar 2017 7:48 a.m. PST
"Wrangle"? Of course, that suggestion may have been influenced by a recent browse through the Napoleonics boards. . .

I prefer gaggle.

With all the bickering it could be a Division. Perhaps a Horde. Maybe a Battalion. Depending on the size and the organisation, or lack of it. "I say Curruthers, do you see that shocking rout of wargamers over at the other table?"

"A shower"…..LOL!

A dispute

An obsession

A prolong? A Bricole?
attilathepun47	05 Mar 2017 12:22 p.m. PST
How about a "nerdle"?

"Gaggle of gamers" has a nice alliterative quality. Lots of good suggestions here already!

A table for less than a dozen.

How about "horde"…or better yet, "hoard", since that what most of us do with miniatures.
Jakar Nilson	05 Mar 2017 2:04 p.m. PST
A frother of gamers.

A 'quibble' :o)

an engagement
robert piepenbrink	05 Mar 2017 7:24 p.m. PST
A disputation. Though a cluster might also be appropriate.
Winston Smith	05 Mar 2017 9:31 p.m. PST
A pedantry of wargamers.
Rod I Robertson	06 Mar 2017 12:30 a.m. PST
A "squabble" of gamers. Cheers. Rod Robertson.

Very clever suggestions, all. I'm looking forward to the voting.
