Looking for Players in Illinois (Chicago Area)

By tofubones, in Battlelore

Hi,

I have the base game and am looking a group or some one to play with. I'm currently living in Northern Illinois (Round Lake). I'm willing to travel reasonable distances.

Where abouts exactly? I am in the area but over in Indiana.

I'm in the northern suburbs of Chicago.

Too bad. That is a world away for me.

I'm in Harvard, IL (yes, there is a statue of cow in the middle of town). That's a wee bit out there, but I work in Palatine at Harper College and can find space there to play.

I am in the western suburbs. I am running 3 games of BattleLore using Call to Arms at the Little Wars convention in a couple of weeks at the Lincolnshire Marriot. Come out and play BattleLore in 54 (mm that is.)

Here is the description from the PEL.

BattleLore in 54. Parent child game. The French were waiting in Nouaille. The Black Prince turned west again, back towards Poiters, trying to stall the French pursuit. This would be Edward's last fight in the series of small deployments agains John II the French King before his great victory at Poiters on the 19th day of September 1356. Use BattleLore rules with Call to Arms deployment system and 54mm HYW armies to fight this late medieval battle.

Here is a link to some pictures (not very good ones) of the figures from a game at home:
