These clubs and shops have been collected from a variety of sources. In the first case we are indebted to the “Clubs of the World” list appearing in MWAN. As for the shops, it must be admitted that more money is spent on other aspects of “The Greater World of Adventure Gaming” than historical miniatures. This is reflected in the emphasis of game shops. Most shops will offer items of value to the historical gamer, including modeling supplies and recruiting opportunities. Those shops which are reported to have a moderate historical emphasis are indicated by * after the entry.
