Well, long story short, I'm leaving for a trip to England come the 8th, and staying till the 18th. Now, aside from sightseeing, museums and bills of different sizes, I'm interested in buying gaming stuff, as there's a blatant lack of it where I live. So my plea is for some suggestions as to gaming stores to drop into. Specially wargames, but also card, board and role playing games - from all the legends told to me by people who've been there it's a haven for geeks. Primarily I'm looking for GZG stuff - Dirtside and Full Thrust look really cool, and Stargrunt's growing on me too. GW stores that stock Epic too. Looking for the new Guard stuff, and if any stock Forgeworld that would be nice. Also ancients and/or modern warfare. That said, here is where I'm going to be: Oxford Coventry Stratford Upon Avon Uttoxeter Catleton York Canterbury London I realise the list of places is extensive, but I need all the help I can get. I'll likely have enough time to get to most places in there. So, just to reiterate - GZG stuff, if it's available in any stores, and then various other things. I'd likely be interested in any place that would have either a large section of 6mm scale moderns or relatively cheap prices - I'm sure I'll feel the need to buy large quantities of things, as I'm not buying many random souvenirs or anything else, and there's very little available where I live. Thanks all. |

I can't believe your visiting that 'other place' and not going anywhere near the fairest cambridge. lol. Shame really as the cambridge GW seem to stock a fair amount of epic below the counter if your prepared to ask. Looks like you have a pretty tight schedule there anyhow. Have a good time. |

Pick up a copy of Miniature Wargames when you get here and try to hit one of the trade shows. There are a number of good gaming shops in London, most will be listed in the magazine. But your best bet for GZG stuff is a trade show. Furgie |

Hmm... how commonly is Miniature Wargames sold? As in, can I get it at most bookstores/news stands and the like? |

Any large magazine store - Look for WHSmiths they are everywhere. |

Thanks for the help, chums. Armed with this knowledge, I think I ought to be able to find some miniatures to spend my spare travel money on. If nothing else, hopefully I can get some of those absolutely FANTASTIC Vultures & Valkyries - I'm sure I can get my gaming buddy to agree to a scenario using only gunship transported stormtroopers. |
