Armchair Generals Refight Historic Battles In Iowa Union
A weekly group at the Iowa Memorial Union gathers to replay Waterloo Gettysburg and Arnhem using miniature boards and cardboard units. The Iowa City Wargaming Confederation hosts 20 to 25 players weekly with about 50 members in a social hobby spanning students to locals. Participants pay 25 cents for magazines and newsletters, meet from noon to 7 pm, and often play multi-hour sessions like the Highway to the Reich game based on Market Garden.
