looking for historical wargamers in the Netherlands
« on: June 30, 2012, 06:02:56 PM »
Wasn't sure where to post this but since my main interest is in the horse and msuket era, I posted it here.

So I would like to get a better picture of how many people play, or would like to play historical wargames in the Netherlands. There is a club in 'Hoek van Holland' called Society de la grande armee, of which I will become a member: http://www.lagrandearmee.nl/

are there any more Dutch historical wargamers out here? (obviously, if you're not Dutch but do live in the Netherlands, you're welcome too lol)

My current projects:
- ACW
- F&IW
- Samurai

Interest for the future:
- AWI
- Dark Ages
- Medieval
- Pike and shot
- Napoleonic
- WO2

hope to hear from you!

Collecting is better than nothing!  8)

Okay Noordwijk, that's still in Zuid Holland. that's a plus.

Well to be honost, I don't visit gwhobby anymore. There's very few historical enthusiasts and to be frank, some of those that are, are quite annoying people. Since it's a hobby, I choose not to spend my time there  lol

I'm here. Amsterdam.

Mij collecting of historics is largely theoretical though, because of work and other occupations.

I'm a member of BOD in Utrecht, but I haven't been there for a while as well.

I'm not a member of a historical wargames club or something, because I have no idea if there is a club in my area. I'm in Bilthoven, and I just started collecting Wars of the Roses miniatures. I also like other periods in the English history, like the civil war and the Tudor period, but I haven't started collecting anything from those periods... yet.

Oh, and I also have two Napoleonic French soldiers. :D

Not Dutch, but live currently in Tilburg. Will likely be moving to Rotterdam in Autumn though.

Main interests are:
WW2: German, British and Soviets in 28mm (havnt played enough games to have a favourite ruleset)
Napoleonic: have armies for French, British and Prussian
ECW/TYW
Colonial: British colonials, Zulus and Sudan.

I have no miniatures but am also considering VBCW, WW1 SCW

I am also not a member of a club
