Hello lads!

As I will be probably moving to the US of A in a short time for work. Long story short, I was offered a new position at Wheeling, Illinois in my company, and I am seriously considering it. I will be probably move with my girlfriend and assorted stuff, including Wargaming goodies. The problem is I will be probably living in, or near, Wheeling, which is a little town with about 34000 inhabitants. If I want to get my wargaming fix where will I have to go?

Is there by any chance, somebody from Wheeling or nearby which can recommend me some wargaming places where I can get gaming fix. If not, someplaces in Chicago would also be nice to know.

Thanks for the help, I will appreciate it greatly

I am currently in the same situation and from what I've been seeing from the White Dwarf and Games Workshop site there are a lot including a lot of GW stores including the Chicago Bunker.

These are in Chicago though? Anything more local?

I am not 100% sure yet, I am currently operating in the Med on a ship and wont actually make my way there until October/November.

For a variety of wargames, I would recommend Games Plus in Mount Prospect, ~7 miles south of Wheeling. Send me message when you get to Wheeling, I would be happy to meet up sometime.

For just GW games, the Bunker is in Downers Grove and there are a handful of GW stores around the suburbs (Palatine, Algoquin, etc.).

In the meantime, if anyone else wants to meet up for a game, send me a message.

Looking good. Thanks for the offewr steellegionaire, if at the end I end up in Wheeling I will send you a PM.

I am sure I will hit you up as soon as I make it up north and get settle in at my duty station.

Games Plus is the way to go ! if anybody wishes to take some 40k Orks on or strech WHF legs let me know !!!

Games Plus is the cream of the crop when it comes to gaming stores, been there for 30+ years and has people that play just about anything
