What is Tabletop Wargaming

 

Tabletop wargaming is a type of strategy game played on a flat surface, where players use miniature figures, tokens, or even their imagination to simulate battles and conflicts. These games often involve detailed rulesets and terrain pieces to create a realistic battlefield environment


Here are some key aspects of tabletop wargaming:


  1. Miniatures: Players use small, often highly detailed figures to represent their armies. These miniatures can be made of plastic, metal, or resin.
  2. Terrain: The battlefield is set up with various terrain pieces like hills, forests, buildings, and rivers to add strategic depth to the game.
  3. Rulesets: Each game has its own set of rules that dictate how units move, attack, and interact with each other. These rules can range from simple to highly complex.
  4. Scales: Miniatures come in different scales, with 28mm being one of the most common. The scale affects the size of the miniatures and the overall scope of the game.
  5. Themes: Wargames can be set in various genres, including historical, fantasy, sci-fi, and modern warfare. 


It’s a hobby that combines strategy, creativity, and social interaction, making it a favorite among many gaming enthusiasts

LEEDS WARGAMES CLUB

About Us

Hicks Hall, 60 Bankfield Terrace, Burley, Leeds LS4 2JR.

We meet on Wednesdays from 6.30pm and is usually finished about 10.30pm, and selected weekends.


Members areable to run games at any time, leave the action on the table, and return to finish off the enemy.


Leeds Wargames Club has been around since the early 70's, and run FIASCO, a gaming convention with a wide selection of both traders and games from around the country, every year at The Royal Armouries. 


FIASCO is always the last Sunday of the month of October, just as the clocks go back (so we get an extra hour in bed, see forward planning works!) 



All Kinds of Games

 We play most forms of wargames, including Black Powder, Impetus, Warmaster Ancients, Cold War Commander, Check Your 6, Blue Max, Age of Eagles, you name the game system, we probably have members that have played it.  Probably the best thing about coming to a wargames club is the opportunity to play a game that you simply would not be able to do at home.  Here at the Leeds Wargames Club we recognise this and so we have filled and entire shed with matts of all colours, hills, trees, buildings and terrain features of all scales and sizes.
