We're a friendly 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 in which to enjoy battles with painted toy soldiers on great terrain in the company of good people.

We meet bi-weekly (sometimes more often) at Chicagoland Games (5550 North Broadway) and 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

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!
