Questions about FLGS's outside the US.

I'm always amazed out how few tables some stores have. I keep 3 tables set up at my house and have another 2 in storage.

I have two GW’s within a short drive of my house but I never go to them. I do all my shopping at independent stores and online so i can get 20% off the price of whatever it is im buying.

There are a number of local clubs in our area too. One has space for 7 tables but at any one time 3 of them are taken up by Magic players. The others are being used for Bushido or other such. It’s rare to find anybody willing to play anything by GW. They were pushing W/H recently but very few people seemed interested.

The second one (the one I have just started attending) is much bigger, with about 10-15 tables. Heavily into W/H and 40K with a decent smattering of WHF. Some other specialist games like Bllodbowl Gorkamorka, BFG and Inq are also played as well as some of the other smaller games systems. Tournaments and the like run regularly as well as attending national competitions.

The third is exclusively 40K with a very large number of tables.

Working in London I often pop out to Dark Sphere during my lunch break to buy stuff. They have a number of very nice looking tables but I have yet to play a game there.

We have enough mats and scenery to change our kitchen table into a decent size playing surface suitable for wargames.

The other thing that I wonder, there are a lot of gaming clubs over here that meet in church halls, social clubs, pubs, school halls etc that are not focused on a shop/store so is that also a thing in the rest of the world?

We actually have a number of clubs in the Sacramento area. A few of them have t-shirts/hoodies with their logo's and turf. I've been tempted to ask them where the Sharks/Jets are hanging out, but figured I'd mostly get strange WTF looks, heh heh.

I'm actually not surprised to hear that most shops have very few tables, space costs LOTS of $$$$. How much actual play space does Warhammer World have? 10k+?
