Where do you play?

[Volant Gun]

Hello California Pilots,

I'm trying to organize the California squadron and I want to know where you play. Do you play at a Local Game Store (LGS); community building (like a school or church); or at home? We may have to consolidate flights and still play at our favorite LGS. For example, Burbank and Pasadena pilots can still play at Green Knight and Game Empire respectivley, but have those pilots under one flight.

I'm thinking of using Fresno as the dividing line. Fresno and all communities south will be SoCal Sector and all communities north of Fresno will be the NorCal sector.

Please reply and let me know where you play and what you think.

Sincerely,
Frank.

Fresno seems like a reasonable dividing line. I play at Emerald Knights in Burbank, and we could be listed with Andrew from Game Empire Pasadena as one flight. They are a bit more active than we are, as we have been unsuccessful the few demos we have run in Burbank, so I would be fine with Andrew being the main point of contact.

Emerald Knights is also my main play venue (though I've had very little time to play there lately!). My family also plays occasionally at home. I'm certainly OK consolidating Burbank and Pasadena into one flight, as I have friends who play at both venues.

Good Day Captain,
I am located in South Orange County CA. I normally play at home. There are a few gaming stores around, the biggest one is Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove if that would fall under the LGS.

Let me know,

Cheers,
George

We play mostly at homes but sometimes we play at our Sacramento Historical War Games club.

I'm just getting into the game now (great timing i know). I live in Sacramento right now, but will be moving to Concord in a few months. In Sacramento, Great Escapes Games has a large gaming area, as does Black Diamond Games in Corcord.

Thanks for the e-mail invite. Sadly, I have not stores nearby to play at. Usually it's just when some friends get together. I live out on the central coast (Santa Maria), and their is not much in the way of game shops. The only one in the area is a Warhammer/MtG store pretty much.

[CptGrimstar]

I'm in Valencia, but play at both emerald knights and Game Empire. I'm good with consolidating to Game Empire

[DJensen]

I live in Los Angeles by Santa Monica and have just played with Friends. I'd play at the upcoming game conventions in LA if they have WOG.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for replying. As you can see we're scattered about the state. How far are you willing to travel to play once a week? It seems to me the two main areas are LA and Sacremento. We already have a flightleader in Modesto to build up that area. How about you? Are you willing to build in your local area? I think we should have a minimum of 6 regular pilots to have an established flight.

I know we all have fun playing the game, but wouldn't be great to have 4 on 4; or even better 6 on 6?! :guns: :fokker: :camel:

Lets all pitch in and have a really fun time.

Hey Frank, didn't see this post when I listed the Wednesday sortie! I am available and willing to fly 2 times a month at Game Empire Pasadena!

[Volant Gun]

Thanks Andrew.

Frank.

Hi George. I often went to Brookhurst Hobbies when I lived in Orange to shop for minis, but I didn't know they held games there. They told me there was not interest. :hmm:

Brookhurst Hobbies was the best LGS in the Orange area. Do you want to travel to Pasadena? Maybe we can start a flight in Orange! :)

Frank.

My dad and I can make orang co. on the weekends if we have advanced notice.

Hello all just thought I would check in kinda new to wow.me and my son have sparked our interest in the game again. We live in torrance ca. Is the game out of print print changed ownership , alittle confused on some things. I see it refered to as wog as well. Trying to find a retailer here in so cal if anyone can help.
Thanks.
Bill and kyle

[CptGrimstar]

The original company went under, so whatever you find online or on shelves and LGS is it. A new company called Ares games purchased the rights, so they changed the name to "wings of glory" the wow minis will work with the new release of minis. Supposed to be 1st-2nd quarter 2012.

Hi Bill,

Welcome to the aerodrome. You may want to get a hold of George (aka Spandaugunner) who plays at Brookhurst Hobbies. Maybe we can set up a game date and fly a few combat sorties. :)

Have Fun,
Frank.

Hi All,

Being in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area, I'm pretty spoiled for places to play.

There's Endgame Oakland (http://www.endgameoakland.com/) and Games of Berkeley (http://www.gamesofberkeley.com/) both close by...

[Capt Croft]

Anything/anyone going on the SF side of the bay? Looking for some kinda campaign action as well

[leadpusher]

Being in Sacramento, I usually only get to the bay area for conventions. We game once a month usually around the middle of the month at various libraries, you can't beat the price. January's meeting is on the 14th from 10-? at the Rancho Cordova Library. No game has been selected yet. For details checkout the club's Yahoo group, SHWG, Sacramento Historical War Gamers.
