We're a friendly and laid-back group of gamers in the beautiful city of Chicago, IL. We play many genres and scales, but our primary focus is generic (not limited to one brand of figures), fast-play, 28mm, skirmish level (8-20 miniatures per side), Fantasy and Sci-Fi/Post-Apoc gaming. Our goal for each meeting is for a casual environment (rules lawyers and WAAC gamers are not welcome) in which to enjoy battles with painted toy soldiers on great terrain in the company of good people.

We meet on alternating Wednesdays(sometimes more often) at members' homes. Membership to this group is moderated. If you'd like to join us for a game, email the moderator at ordinary_bass@yahoo.co.uk Members can see upcoming events in the messages section of this group.

We're always open to new gamers regardless of experience level. Ownership of appropriate painted miniatures is not necessary for gaming with us. We've got plenty to share!
