I'm going to suggest a 'local' gaming store here in Chicago-land for
American's (though they have shipped all over the world)-

Games Plus, who run a thriving and well-regarded mail-order business
along
with their excellent and large brick and mortar business. They also give
breaks on mail-order's, and they will deal Credit Card, COD, or even by
check if you want to.

I've know the people there for years and they are all great.

They already carry GZG products (for all I know they order direct from
Jon,
it wouldn't surprise me) and have a huge wargamer (not just role-player)
clientele - moderns, historical, fantasy, etc. About half the very large
store is devoted to mini's.

Think about it, it's probably worth it. If you call and talk to Rich,
tell
him I said hi.
