I used to work for a company based in Mjardevi just on the other side of the university from Linkoping. I would be there about 4 times a year for 3-4 weeks. There are some miniature gamers in the area - they actually used to hold a gaming convention at the University and I beleive there is a gaming club there as well. Have not been for a couple of years, but there is some support there. Not much in the way of retail support in the area, other than some GW stuff in the toy store near the IKEA. Maybe that situation has improved since I was there?
