Welcome to the web site of Glasgow and District Wargaming Society.

GDWS was founded in 1969 and we are one of the oldest clubs in continuous operation.

We meet fortnightly on Sundays from 1pm to 6pm in the Scout hall, Shawmoss Road, Crossmyloof, Glasgow. We also arrange weekend meetings over Saturday and Sunday for that big game.

We have around 40 members and space for all! We have our own tables and terrain and can cater for all periods from biblical to the future.

Annual subscription is £42.50  and membership attracts discounts from local traders.

There are a range of annual competitions and campaigns that provide an opportunity for new members to get involved including , FoG, WAB and PoW.

Gaming at GDWS

Members wargame a wide variety of periods and rules. On a typical Sunday you will find ancient and medieval battles using FoG or WAB, Napoleonic and 19th Century conflicts using PoW and WW2 using Command Decision or Spearhead rules. Fantasy, renaissance and other periods are also covered. See the period sections for more details.

The club runs several tournaments and campaigns that are a good way to introduce new members to the society. We also participate in competitions across the UK and support all the Scottish wargame shows.
