The Kapiti Fusilier Historic Gaming Club was established in 2003. We are based in Paraparaumu, New Zealand, where we meet on the first Friday of the month in Fusilier Steve Sands' large wargaming room.
Our members are interested in many periods of wargaming, from ancients through to modern, and everything in between. Despite our club's name, some members even enjoy fantasy wargaming!
Our club sprang from an online YahooGroup, and so we also have several "virtual" overseas members. They might not be able to game with us, but still share the pleasure of the club's camaradie. Here's a bit more information about how this club and the YahooGroup came about.
