LOCKDOWN BUSTING: US GAMING

Huzzah! Wargames clubs are starting to meet up again and gaming buddies are battling it out across the tabletop after lengthy Lockdowns and social distancing. In celebration, we caught up with two gaming groups from different sides of The Pond and asked them to fill us in on their first games back.

We begin by hearing from Robert Giglio.

In the mid-1990s I gathered together a group of like-minded gamers who enjoyed wargaming the Victorian Colonial era. This group became The Colonial Boys’ Club (CBC). While it remains true to its original era, the CBC has expanded to 16 members whose gaming includes everything from the Victorian era to the Back of Beyond.

We have been meeting for over 20 years in my “War Room” at my house in Ellicott City, Maryland USA. The War Room has a 6'x12' table, surrounded by shelves of 25/28mm scale figures and terrain. The CBC is also the American chapter of The League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers (Steve Langan’s Back of Beyond gaming club in the UK).
