What else is happening with war gaming on the Central Coast
Gosford - Team Pirate
This is a gaming group based at the Good Games Gosford store in the Gosford CBD. Gaming is Thursday afternoon/evening, Saturday and Sunday. The main game system played is Warhammer 40K, but Warhammer Fantasy, Flames of War, Malifaux, Dystopian Wars and Blood Bowl are also played.
Central Coast Wargames Club
This group is based at the Ourimbah RSL and meets on the 4th Sunday of each month. It was founded in 2010 by a group of historical gamers. The main system played is Flames of War (WWII), but they also play Field of Glory (ancients), Fire and Fury (American Civil War) and other systems.
Gosford Hobbies
There is still a modelling club based at Gosford Hobbies that focuses on historical models. As of 2011 the modelling club had started playing 1/72 scale WWII games.
Gosford Gamers Guild
The Gosford Gamers Guild played at Gosford Hobbies and focused on Games Workshop games. For the 6 years from 2004 to 2009 both Warhammer 40000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battles were played. Lord of the Rings was also played across 2004 and 2005. The last GW games were played Dec 2009.
After Gosford Hobbies stopped running games most of the players moved to the Central Coast Corsairs and/or Gosford Team Pirate.
One of the main features of the
Gosford Gamers Guild was that
gaming was held outside for much of the life of the group. Playing outside
in the fresh air on a sunny afternoon under the shade of the gum trees was a
delight.
Other features of the group was the Gosford Shield, the largest one day
Warhammer 40K tournament in NSW, and the Blitzkrieg interclub events which
attracted up to 30 players at its peak.
Central Coast Corsairs
Central Coast Corsairs was a war gaming group on the northern end of the Central Coast. They met on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Tuggerah Community Hall, opposite McDonalds. Tuggerah is about a 20 minute drive north of Gosford.
A wide variety of gaming systems were played including Blood Bowl (a very active group), Warhammer 40K, Warhammer Fantasy and Flames of War.
The Central Coast Corsairs was wound up in 2010 due to insurance problems.
Outpost Games Club
This was a gaming group based in Newcastle that closed down in 2010. Don't confuse this group with The Outpost Tabletop Gaming Club in Victoria or Outpost 6030 in Perth.
Denizens of the Coast
Denizens of the Coast was best known for Warhammer Fantasy, and for running events such as Ye Olde Worlde Challenge interclub events and also running tournaments in Sydney.
Outpost 6030
When in Perth I like to play at Outpost South, who meet on Tuesday night 7:30pm - 10:30pm, except the second Tuesday of each month.

There is no connection between the Newcastle group Outpost Games Club and the Perth group Outpost 6030.s
Tactics
This shop is downstairs at the river end of London Court. Probably the best shop I have found for 40K, WFB and Flames of War.
