Cambridge UK Games Shops

'Other World Games' are now in King Street at the far end (from town)
near 
the King Street Run Pub - They stock most of the Future Wars miniatures,
and 
the GZG game books that are in print FT/MT DS2 SG2. They also have
Flintloque
and WarZone and some Grendel Resin Fantasy stuff and a full line of
Denizen 
25mm SF figures very nice but about a 90p each, also some Nuns with guns
and 
SG2 25mm squads, Star Wars 25mm - little other SF stuff as I bought it
all at 
end of line prices. (Jon T they used to stock lots more of your lines
but 
don't seem to any more - shame). They also do board, RPG and card/dice
games.

There is also the Toy Soldier in Magdelene Street this is more your WWII
and
figure collectors type shop. If you want unusual 'Beatles' figures this
is 
the place. They also have a good selection of unusual Military books.

Games and Puzzles are in Green Street, but their stock is pretty much
all Warhammer now! There are a few interesting RPG's and board games to
be 
found. They sometimes have 1 or 2 end of line items of interest such as 
Aliens
Power-loaders.

Games Workshop In Bridge Street if you must - they have the new 40K
stuff at 
ludicrous prices - qualities good though.

Cambridge also has lots of bookshops - main chains and independents
where 
military books can be bought at new and second hand prices. I have a
huge 
collection from going round these stores.

Tim Jones
