What size is the group of players you normally play with? Is your wargame group a squad, a platoon? My experience is that successful wargames clubs that make platoon size- within a year fracture into smaller groups- those that play DBA or move to another set of rules, or refuse to rebase. The Spartans split and the Barbarian club moves over to the next pub. A fire team, a Rogue trooper? |

Two different questions. Size of our club is about 150. The group of players I normally game with is 4 to 8. It varies. |

Our club has about 20 or so members, and we usually have 10-15 at any session. We play 5 or 6 different games with very little cross over, but we like it that way! Everyone is friendly. |
bruntonboy | 21 Apr 2019 5:46 a.m. PST |
8 regulars. We have a hired room with 24/7 access so can play anytime. |

Not sure how many total members we have. I'm a primary GM for Monday nights. Our bigger games run on Wednesdays. Thursdays is for smaller games and boardgames. Then ad-hoc gaming happens any other time people feel like. We have a club house with multiple tables, storage and a fridge. Typical game is 6-10 players. We routinely get 10-15 people most nights, though the people vary with the night. |

My club consists of one member and he only shows up sporadically. |
Wildman | 21 Apr 2019 7:56 a.m. PST |
No club. Three or four other gamers and myself that play Pathfinder every 1 to 2 months. Twice a year, two friends visit from out of town and we play something historical. Could be worse I guess. |
TodCreasey | 21 Apr 2019 8:00 a.m. PST |
About 30 which has been consistent for about 10 years now |

Basically a fireteam, with dreams of being a squad |
wrgmr1 | 21 Apr 2019 9:23 a.m. PST |
We have a supported squad, 12 regulars and a couple of infrequent gamers. Usually we get at least 8 or more out every Thursday. Four of our chaps gah ave games rooms that we alternate playing at. Most of us 20+ years. |

There is a club 30 minutes to 90 minutes south of me (Winter/Summer) that I have not been to in over a year now. That group is 8 or so regulars and 30 total I believe. Most of my gaming is with a couple guys online and one player for FTF – all board wargames these days. |

A weak platoon, not all present every week, and playing several games of an evening. |

I used to be a member of a 100 strong club. I would usually play with a few best friends within that club but very occasionally maybe a dozen or so. I now play solo (I'm pretty old now) but I have a couple of mates who come to play now and again. I have a grandson comin up to 3 years old. I'm hoping to make him a wargamer if I live long enough. |
BrockLanders | 21 Apr 2019 12:00 p.m. PST |
No club, just an under strength squad of 7 |
SultanSevy | 21 Apr 2019 12:43 p.m. PST |
Our small club which plays at my house is 4 members, but we're hoping to grow it. |
Bob the Temple Builder | 21 Apr 2019 1:05 p.m. PST |
Most of my stuff is solo, but once I year I play wargames with fifty or so other wargamers over a weekend. We are all member of the same group, which numbers just under one hundred. |
IUsedToBeSomeone | 21 Apr 2019 2:13 p.m. PST |
18 people in the Guildford club – somewhere around 10-12 turn up each week for 3-6 games… Mike |
ashauace6970 | 21 Apr 2019 2:33 p.m. PST |
No club but a comfortable group of 5-8 who meet twice a week |
D A THB | 21 Apr 2019 4:38 p.m. PST |
I believe the club has about 65 members but split into fire teams or squads. I usually am a sniper but occasionally am part of a weapons team. |
whitphoto | 21 Apr 2019 4:53 p.m. PST |
4ish people in one informal group. I belong to two moderately sized clubs (several dozen people in each) but only play with a fist full of people from each once a month of club days |
nnascati | 21 Apr 2019 5:58 p.m. PST |
Used to be four of us playing weekly, either my home or another guy's. Two have gotten out of the hobby altogether, and another is busy running a hobby related business. That leaves me playing solo or drafting my reasonably willing son in law to game with me. |

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut | 21 Apr 2019 10:57 p.m. PST |
The various groups that I game with are: 1 guy 1 guy 1 guy 2 guys 7 guys 20 guys Three of the 7 guys and one of the 1 guy overlap with the 20 guys, but not often. |
Mike Target | 22 Apr 2019 5:15 a.m. PST |
I believe our club has some 200 "Regular" members with some 40-60 turning up each week. There seems to be about 15-20 games each club night of pretty much every sort imaginable. |
21eRegt | 22 Apr 2019 6:28 a.m. PST |
We have a loose group without club status the plays most weeks. We communicate games coming up or being considered, meet for one game at a time in a couple of places, with anywhere from two to ten players. Just depends on the game being played. |
etotheipi | 22 Apr 2019 6:33 a.m. PST |
We have 50 people on the mailing list. Ten or so show up once a month. |
The Tin Dictator | 22 Apr 2019 6:20 p.m. PST |
We have just over 40 members in the group. Somewhere between 6 and 10 usually show up for a game twice a month. |
Shagnasty | 22 Apr 2019 6:28 p.m. PST |
Our group, which met informally at our FLGS, was about 30 in number. After the shop's demise it splintered to various folks homes. We maintain a loose contact and often try to mass but it is usually 4-6 guys at someone's home. The faction to which I belong tries to game each Sunday. So, a fire team which occasionally joins an under strength platoon. |
Micman | 23 Apr 2019 8:19 a.m. PST |
I am part of 2 small groups one of 6 and one of 12+ They are part of a larger regional group of 300+ |
