Het Utrechtse Stadsleger
Welcome to Het Utrechts Stadsleger, a place devoted to building a player community for historic war and strategy games (paper, not miniatures). These games attempt to showcase the military, economic and/or political aspects of historical conflict on tactical, operational or strategic scale.
Examples are for instance Combat Commander, Friedrich or Here I Stand. But first of all these games should be fun to play. This page will hopefully become a hub where players can find like-minded people and arrange to play games. For the future, we are considering organising monthly meetups, and possibly a yearly gaming weekend.
Het Utrechtse stadsleger (citizen army of Utrecht) refers to medieval times when Utrecht was a walled city run by its guilds and independent from the earldom of Holland to the west and the dukedom of Gelre to the east. This group aims to bring people together around a gaming table and consequently has a regional focus. However, people from Holland and Gelre are welcome too!
