That explains a lot. There seem to be fewer wargame clubs around here.
Talking
to people at conventions here, it's usually the time they get the most
gaming
in. If they game at all, it's usually with friends and family. That
would
explain why there's less emphasis on gaming at the British shows, if
there are
more wargames clubs and a greater chance to play games in general
throughout
the year.
