Chestnut Lodge is a gaming group dedicated to Quality, Criticism & Development and goes in search of better simulation games.

Although the title says 'wargame' there is actually quite a diversity of games and very few probably wouldn't be thought of as wargames by a mainstream wargamer.

There is often a large political, economic and roleplaying element to our games.

We play conventional figure games as well, though generally with rules of our own particular cultural flavour and in a generally friendly spirit.

This is a very friendly group and visitors are very welcome to just turn up and see what is going on.

...and there is no need to be an experienced wargamer to come along and join in. Even if you've never played wargames before, we welcome anyone who is interested in finding out more.

 

 

The Calendar of forthcoming meetings and games

We tend to try and plan ahead for games - though people often turn up with new designs unannounced, so you can find yourself playing almost anything on the day. Items in blue are non-club events. Most meetings start at 12 noon and go on to about 6pm.

For some idea of the sorts of things we do, look at the Archive of games we have played in in past sessions

Visitors are always welcome - contact us for details.
