Glasgow and District Wargaming Society

News
Welcome!

​GDWS is the home of wargaming in Glasgow since 1969. This site tells you all about the society - what we do and when we meet. You can also browse through our extensive collection of display games that highlights the very best this fascinating hobby has to offer. 

Meeting dates
​The 2022-23 meeting schedule has now been published. We will be running a series of themed open days this coming year, so watch this space.

Non-members are welcome to come and use our tables, mats and extensive scenery collection. Ideal for those longer games as we are open from 12:30 to 17:30. The table fee is £5 per player.

Here is a quick summary of themed days for 2023 so far:

15 January: Star Wars Legion
7 May: Ancients - To the Strongest!
18 June: Waterloo Day, Napoleonic Open Day
27 August: Medieval - To the Strongest!

Further details to follow.

The next big Scottish show is Claymore on 5 August in Edinburgh College, Leith. GDWS will be there with a Napoleonic participation game, First to Land!.
​
To the Strongest!
The first leg of our To the Strongest competition was held on 7 May 2023. Twelve players took part, with armies limited to the ancients list. And the winner was Dave Soutar. The second leg is on 27 August covering the medieval lists.

Duncan MacLeay Memorial Napoleonic Open Day
Glasgow and District Wargaming Society held our Napoleonic Open Day on Sunday 18 June 2023 - Waterloo Day. This is also a tribute to our former member, Duncan MacLeay, who kindly left a bequest to the Society in his will for such events. There was a big Waterloo game (details here) and others. It was great to see old friends and new faces.

​Competition Winners
George Dick won this year's ADLG competition.
And Graham Robertson won To the Strongest!
